China & Me

Hmm... How do i feel about China/What have i experienced???

*The Good*

1. The people are quite friendly (of cos there are rude ones..but very few of them)

2. There are a lot of stuff to learn and see about China..like the history, the scenery, the cities..etc

3. Their old and unique culture, tradition and history are fascinating..

4. The weather can be nice when it is cold but not windy.

5. Most of the toilets r not so bad.. At least most of them r clean and "complete" and u no longer need to use umbrella to cover ur butt when u pee.

*The Bad*

1. China people don't drive according to rules when the police r not around. They dont follow the traffic light most of the time and you should always be extra careful when crossing the road, no matter whether u r using the pedestrian crossing or not.

2. A LOT of the public and hotel toilets/bathroom use those kinda "semi-transparent" glass/plastic or wateva material for their doors and walls. . They make people like my sis feel a little awkward..hehe

3. Every meal(lunch/dinner) i had there consist of fish, pork, chicken, prawn, veg and one or two kind of soups. In total there would always be about 10 dishes excluding fruits and tea and beer. My goodness... that was really a good weight-gaining program. Oh one more thing, the food there is SUPER OILY and sometimes quite salty... I wonder if their cooking oil and salt r really that cheap.

*The Ugly*

1. A lot of china man STILL have the habit of spititng everywhere. ARH!..this is one thing that i cant stand. It seemed so natural for them to spit anywhere, anytime. There were a few cases when some man spitted RIGHT NEXT TO ME... my goodness... I even saw motices that remind people to not vandalise and litter.. but there was no sign or reminder of not spitting. I wonder y...

2. Almost all china man smoke... even the tour guide told us so. They emphasized on drinking tea and exercising for good health.. but hello!..eating super oily food and smoking ain gonna help.

Well every country has his good and bad...Overall, i enjoyed the trip. China is getting more and more developed and structured. It was also more interesting than i thought it would be. Got to learn more about the chinese culture and i must say some part of the chinese history can be very inspiring... There was so much about chinese culture..felt kinda shameful to know so little bout it. ..... Well of cos..If there is a chance, i don't mind travelling to other parts of china in the future. It is really not as bad as u think it may be..haha...
