Hello, everyone. I arrived in China a few months ago. Like every other foreigner, I had to f 1.a few “culture shocks”. Here I would like to share a few of such culture shocks.
It is known to all that China holds 20% of world’s total population but even then it comes as a s2.when one steps outside into public areas and sees a flood of people who at first look almost the same, all dark haired with dark eyes.
The next on my list is the language problem. When one first decides to go to China the first thought that crosses a3.mind is “how am I going to communicate?!!?” Although most Chinese are very interested in the English language, the fact remains that except the major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the English language knowledge of most Chinese is very poor if not zero. L4. , you would always be able to find help.
The third is the silent but keen interest of Chinese towards the foreigners. There are times when you would be sitting in a bus or just passing by and you would n 5. someone trying to take picture.
Now the next one is my f6.one. Chinese have the same love ... FOOD. You start walking anywhere in China and after every 5 steps you will come across a food stall. Honestly, I have never seen a food place empty in China no matter what is being sold there.
But frankly speaking, no matter what a foreigner goes through, life in China can be a total adventure and one thing is certain that the Chinese are the most h7.and the most sweet natured people one could ever come across anywhere in the world. Whenever I meet with difficulty, I am sure to get a hand from the strangers to solve my problem.
