Ni hao -- hello. So I do not know which experience should I share now because every day we have new adventure and we learn something new. We meet new people; we learn how to relate to them since they have different culture and the most
important thing is that we do it as a group. The first day we arrived in Chongqing from Beijing, we all were in a culture shock. We didn’t want to go out or do
anything; but people here are so nice, helpful and friendly that they quickly made us feel much better. Each of us has a Chinese student partner that helps us with everything -- going to classes, getting food, or anything we need. But actually not
only our partners help us, but all of the Chinese students seem to love it when we as
them for help and respond quickly.
The second day, we were hosted to a welcoming dinner. I can’t believe that
the vice president of the University actually went around to each table to make sure that every one
had enough food and to personally welcome every one. The program here keeps us very busy with many activities, including English corner where we either dance or
talk to Chinese students, sport game day, and a hot pot dinner.
I
really don’t think I am home sick anymore because our entire group has been acting as one family and we always try to help each other out. We
have also made a lot of friends here, but we still get in touch with them as a group.
We have also visited a lot of places here, since it’s so easy and cheap just to take the subway or mono rail. Also, stops are
written in English. |
