♥杨蕊Jasmine♥ 's notebook entry: Feb 18, 2011
I watched a video today,it's called"Chinese ppl in foreigners' eyes". I feel like i should say something about it. Some misunderstandings or culture shock or whatever it calls.
1.I don’t eat Dogs&Cats.Actually i don’t eat anything weird,just like U :D (But i did eat snake once,long time ago...but i didn’t know it was snake,so, doesn’t count XD) btw, I have two cats at home,so i prefer feeding them not eating them ;) (actually“dog-eating“culture comes from Korean, WIKI Sie Bitte!)
2.WE ARE TOURISTS!!! Oh that’s for sure,babe~ I always take my PINK camera with me,no matter where i go. My principle: I can have no money,no apartment,no food,no nothing...but i MUST have a CAMERA!!!
3.English Level: cause Chinese language is very different from English. So when we speak English,we have a very strong accent,which in understandable Chinese students work very hard in English,no matter what the result is. I had my first English exam when i was 10.and it never ends and it will never do...
4. Chinese-in –a-group. All the Cinese ppl want to be in a group.When someone doesn’t,we think he/she has no friends. We feel insecure when we don’t have ppl around. And we are too shy to talk to foreigners and make friends with them,(ME, an exception XD) even we DO want to be friends with them.
5. FOODS. I have no comments here. I am sure that U already know the chinese foods :D
6.GAY. I never saw a gay in China.It doesn’t mean that there’s no gay in China.But sadly,chinese ppl still think the “gay-phenomenon” is something “not good”. But on the contrary, I think Gays are COOL. It doesn’t really matter whether u r a Gay or Les or Bi or Straight.It’s just to find someone who cares about u and wants to share his/her life together with u. It’s LOVE.
7.WE ARE EVERYWHERE!!!HAHA~So the girl in the video said:”There’re lots of them(chinese). And they are invading the world…”So true!haha~ Now,more and more Chinese are going to other countries,for studying,working,ect. Even there’re Chinese ppl in the north&south pole…And “Made in China”is everywhere as well.I was surprised when I was in Munich and found out everyone’s laptop was ACER and their cameras or cell phones or other electronic stuffs write“Made in China”.Well,is it good or bad?
8.Hard-Working. We are the most hard-working ppl over the world!?I have to tell u something: I’m a student in Uni. I get up at 6 am every day,taking classes at 7:30am till 11:30 am. Then I have a lunch break till 1:20pm. Then back to classroom at 1:30pm. Taking classes till 5pm. Then it’s dinner time.After that,I am back to study again,cause we have night classes at 6:30pm till 8:30pm. Then I will stay a little bit longer in the classroom or library to finish my studying that day. I go back to dormitory around 9:30pm. Study a little bit more after I go back to dormitory.I sleep at 11pm. Then the exactly the same sec.day of my studying life.
9.Reserved Chinese ppl. We still hold the old opinions like before. We don’t talk to u unless u talk to us at first.We don’t say “I love U”,but to ask u thousand of questions to show our love to U.Girls don’t wear short skirt.if they do,ppl will think she’s a BITCH .(Well,I'm totally guilty) And there are lots of situations like these.But there’re open-minded chinese ppl as well,
They accept other cultures,they are willing to be with“foreigners”and exchang different opinions with them.
10.Death Panity& Facebook/Google blocking. It’s government issues. I don’t really have anything to comment here.
Just so u know,I always have different opinions among things. (compared to other chinese ppl) I think the most important thing is to understand other cultures not to criticis them, cause when u think “They are weird”,they are thinking exactly the same like U!!!
Love all my friends in Munich!!!
