Today we had our last lunch in China. I am so sad to leave! I don't know want to go back to China and be a normal American. If you were on the trip you would know what I am talking about. In China, if you have Blonde hair and green or blue eyes, you are an instant celebrity. Everywhere I went in China people always wanted to take pictures with me or they would take pictures of me. It felt like I was constantly being followed by paparazzi. A couple times people would ask me to hold their babies. I did not understand why I was so popular their but they love to see a blonde lady in China. If I am ever feeling down in life when I am in America, I just have to remember that people love me in China!
I really don't know what else to say about my experience in China, except that it was so much fun! All of my stereotypes were wrong about China and I found that it would be an amazing place to live. It is also an amazing place to vacation. If I were to come back to China I would love to run the marathon on the Great Wall! I feel honored that I have seen the Great Wall, so my next goal is to run it!
The people of China are also amazing. They are always willing to help you and I would say they are very nice and trusting. I learned that employers take care of their employees very well and every employee that I saw was a very hard worker. They would go above and beyond to make you happy. Something that the US I think has forgotten. Sometimes you need to take a step back and not worry so much about time, enjoy your day and enjoy the people you are with. In a restaurant, everyone at the table shares food, has a drink, and is being very loud as they are conversing with everyone at the table. One thing I know I will miss is eating in China. I love the turn style tables. I like that you can see everyone at the table and you share dishes. I loved my experience in China and I hope one day I will go back!
