Got here in 2007. Having lived in the westfor most of my life, I was most surprised about the food. There is a hugevariation of amazing Chinese food you just never hear of in the west. China is a hugeplace and every area has it s specialities. For example I had never tasted Xin Jiangfood, lan zhou la mien, or bei jing style hot pot.
The other thing is the differences in whatis regarded as common courtesy in the West and in China. Personal space, queuing,spitting in the street and so on. The first time in China I saw a lady hold up a babyto p e e literally on to the side walk staggered me. Going to Japan a few yearsback was a huge shock as it is pretty much the opposite extreme.
A few of the visitors I have had over havecommented on how developed Chinese infrastructure is and that it wassurprising. Huge roads connecting every city and comparatively well l maintainedrail ways was not what they were expecting to see.
我2007年来中国的，在西方生活了大半辈子，我最惊讶的是食物。在中国有很多惊人的食物，你在西方都没听说过。中国是很大的地方，各地都有特色。比如我从来没有尝过新疆菜，兰州拉面或者北京火锅
还有的不同就是西方认为普通的礼仪，个人空间，排队，随地吐痰等等。我刚来中国的时候看到一个女士抱着孩子在人行道上撒尿让我震惊了。在日本生活了几年这让我很震惊，因为在日本是完全不同的
一些来过中国的人都评价中国基础设施的发达，真的很惊奇。每个国家都有大路连接，还有维护不错的铁路，这都是让我很惊讶的
