On plane, all we did was eating, drinking, reading and sleeping. At least for me it is so, which was pretty retarded, because every time I woke up it must be the trolley goes around distributing food, food and food. Sigh. And suddenly I realized that after eating so much we are only around 2 hours away from Beijing. It is like WOW we are there so freaking fast? Compared to the trip TO Cleveland, the trip back seems so much faster because we spent literally 37 hours on plane, excluding the waiting time. Ha. After coming out of the airport my first impression of this big city is that it is huge, dirty, dusty, and hot. Hopelessly hot. It is out of your imagination how hot it is to live up in Beijing. And I saw on the weather forecast that somewhere down southeast it is reaching up to 40 Celsius. I wonder how the heck those people are able to live in such places. And soon I found out the answer pretty soon. The solutions are easy—just stay at home with your air conditioning on. Then you’ll stay pretty cool.
Oh wells. So we reached Beijing, the Zhangs treated us to this meal that makes me realize what kind of CHINESE food I was eating in America, which pretty proves that Chinese food is only more original in its origin place—china.
Yea and then I came back people were asking me if I want to drink beer. Im like um im still under 21… and I was speaking in English to my mom that even im under 21, when I go back to North America I would hang out with peter and go drink beer and my mom was like um okay?
Oh well. And then I realized the cultural difference between Chinese people and Western people. Like when American people treat you to a dinner all they tell you is to serve yourself and that’s all. And Chinese people don’t ask you, instead all they do is keeping adding food into your bowl or dish and you just keep eating and they won’t listen to you when you say IM FUCKING FULL. Ha.
And thinking of the schooling in China all I have in me is fear, fear and fear. The teachers criticize you without even thinking. That’s what I like about the education in Western cultures: they encourage you instead of criticizing you all the time.
