My chinese sucks
First the good:
People are generally very nice. Sure thereare dicks, but when you get to know people they are usually incredibly nice. Myfirst spring festival in china I didn't have any really good friends y e t,only been here a few months, the shop owner under my apartment invited me tohis house for the holiday. At that time I couldn't under stand any thing, justenough to under stand that he was inviting me to his house and to get on hisscooter. Ha ha, it's was a great time. I've never been treated like family bystrangers faster than in china.
Family values. I love how important familyis out here. I have my pro blems with it (I'l l write about that below) butover all I love it.
Food. Not at all like American Chinesefood. Some of it is terrible, but good Chinese food is l so much better thangood American Chinese food.
Now the bad:
Manners. Spitting, shitting, pissing, puking, blowing snot rockets, all onthe street. Table manners also. This surprised me the m o s t. I came to China after living I n Japan for ayear. L Talk about a shock.
Parental control. It drives me crazy howmuch control parents have over their kids. I got married last year andbasically am a terrible son in law because we haven't made a baby for theparents yet. Fuck that.
Kids don't grow up. Because of the parentalcontrol kids stay kids for ever. My best friend who is 28 and married lives athome, goes home for lunch, and basically can't do any thing to take care of himself. Awe some guy, but seriously needs to man up. He got married a few monthsback, doesn't want a kid yet, but it doesn't matter so he and his wife arealready expecting. His mom called me sel fish for not knocking my wife upalready.
首先是好的方面：
人们都很友善。当然也有混蛋，但当你了解这里的人之后你就知道他们都很友善。在中国的第一个春节，那时我没有太多好朋友，只来这里几个月而已，住我楼下的一个店主邀请我去他们家欢度春节。那时我真的什么都不懂，我只知道他请我去他家然后开始开酒了。哈哈这是很不错的时光，我从来没有被陌生人像家人一样对待的速度这么快，除了在中国
家庭价值。我喜欢家庭在这里的重要性，我对此自己也有问题(下面我会说明)但我真的很喜欢
食物。不是像美国那样的中餐，有些很糟糕，但中国的美食要比美国的中餐好的多
