Hi everyone! This time im gonna talk about my trip to China with my friend as our graduation trip 2 months ago. We tried to make up preparations to go there on our own as much as we could.
Before i had bn to China, my image of the country was like - noisy, full of bicycles, dirty, and dangerous.. those negative things..
But actually I found that many people get on an electric bikes than bicycles, and I visited some World heritages which are so beautifully combinationed with nature, green.
Although there are many shop assistants who strongly push us to buy their goods ( and I was a bit scared), I enjoyed different cultures in China so much!!
I also found some problems for citizens in China - it is much rains in Shanghai and in front of houses, there was like a little river, a small flood.. i guess the government doesnt move for them. theres a big gap between the rich and the poor I felt.
Anyway I went to China with my friend as on tour with many strangers from Japan but the tour coordinater was Chinese, so i learnt Chinese a bit, such as "Hello", "Konnichiwa", "Ohayou", and "Otsukaresama." and I met many people during the tour - there was an old man who left Kwangaku many years ago, so he is my older student!!! aha :D xx
I experienced many other things as well! it was a nice trip ever!! My image of China has a little changed since I hav bn there. I feel that visiting a place actually is the best way to know there rather than expect them just as a stereotypes. :)
Yeah this trip encouraged me to learn Chinese at Keangaku!
