We are coming!

Those around the world who've been talking about how you see Chinese tourists everywhere nowadays, quit whining now and get used to us already because even the South Pole can't be left alone!

Chinese tourists will set out for the South Pole early next year on a 21-day expedition, setting foot on the white wastes of the Antarctic Peninsula that is usually reserved for scientists.

The trip will cost more than 80,000 yuan (10,000 U.S. dollars),making it the most expensive trip offered by a Guangdong travel agency.

Most of the 24 members of the tour group are business bosses including real estate developers.

"Real estate developers"... crazy.

PS: Drake, specially picked out for you: "they will take a ship through the Drake Passage and pass the South Shetland Islands, where they will see penguins, fur seals and elephant seals and finally arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula on Feb. 18." How special! ;)
