I was just thinking, with all my travel in and around Asia, I was thinking what was the most accessible place I have been to.
Hong Kong would be my answer, trains are safe and have no need for ramps to get on board.
streets are clean and safe, however there are alot of hills, but luckily,hong kong is covered in foot bridges, that connect most buildings together, avoiding and stairs or steep hills.
I think Australia would be one of the most wheelchair unfriendly places I have been.
broken roads, no crossings, trains are dangerous to board, but buses are wheelchair assessible.
and australi does have alot of disabled toilets, that are generally locked most of the time, or used by able bodied people.
so please people, comment on my blog, and let me know what you think is the best place for wheelchair people to go and holiday or live.
Shanghai is not bad either,however,toilets are stand up toilets only, no wheelchair toilets that I could see. and of course you have to pay for most toilets in and around Nanjing Road. and shops have stairs at the entrance, but most shops employ people to help people in wheelchairs, I have also heard that now most of the buildings are coming up to scratch with the access now
ReplyDeleteI also found most major cities in Japan are rather good aswell, only been to America once, and that was before utilising a wheelchair, so cannot comment on that
