Being here in China has been a GREAT experience so far. Not only have I gotten a chance to meet Chinese students, but I have also befriended some French students too.
Being here is really humbling because it's almost as if they live in poverty, but they think of it as so much more than that.
They don't look at their broken down houses as being poor or nearly homeless, they look at them as the suburbs. I couldn't imagine living in homes in the conditions that I've seen & I respect them so much more.
Zibo students are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Plus, they are helping me to better myself as I learn the Chinese language. Not to mention the fact that the shopping is GREEEEEEEEEEAAAT!!!!
Outside of the very different food that Ive been eating, being here in China so far has been exactly what I thought it would be, Wonderful. I even have a spot on the front of Zibo newspaper....how exclusive is that:) I've adjusted well as far as sleeping goes & have gotten used to walking almost Everywhere. I just look at it as exercise. Chinese traffic is extremely Crazy, but funny. The buses are always almost running over the bike riders and the bike riders are always almost running over us......It's funny. Despite the fact that some of us are taking longer to adjust than others, being here is great & I'm glad and blessed to have this experience.
Until next time........Shang Di Bao You Ni
