Thoughts on China Thus Far...
China has been very interesting thus far. I have eaten some of the most unique things ever some of which include sea urchin, duck tongue, shrimp and sushi, some of which I liked and some of which I did not. Some of surprising things I have encountered about the Chinese culture are the following; the people are very friendly, the bathrooms are hard to get used to, bikes are the way to get around, and the city is surprisingly safe. I really enjoyed the lecture yesterday learning about the differences in culture and the way our culture deals with things differently then the Chinese. Also, I really enjoyed talking with the Chinese students and learning about their viewpoints on different world issues. I look forward to the next lectures! I had a great time yesterday touring some of the interesting areas of Tianjin, especially the rose garden. It provided some great laughs and photos. Thus far, I have really enjoyed the trip and look forward to what is to come...
