What are some of the things you ve experienced abroad that you don t have as much experience as Chin

On the way home just now, I deliberately went to the library to return the book, not because the book was due, but because I found that the last seventh of the book was degummed, that is, this stack of pages was out of the cover. And I haven't read this book at all since I borrowed it, and my motivation for rushing back today is not that I am afraid that I will be responsible, but that I want them to repair it quickly, so that the whole book will not fall off the page, after all, this book is very old, and it is such a helpful book. When I arrived at the city library, I didn't put the books in the parking lot for my own convenience, but queued up at the front desk and returned them to the staff so that they could know what was wrong and pay attention.

When it came to my location, I told the staff about the last few dozen pages of the book and showed it to her. She is a young Chinese ABC woman. When I saw that the book was indeed damaged, I immediately said, you are going to lose money.

I was shocked, not that I didn't know that the damaged book would cost money, but that she had a meaty expression on her face. I explained to her that I had borrowed the book with nine other books, that I had only flipped through it last night, that I had stopped touching it as soon as I noticed the damage, and that I had sent it back at the first moment today after the package was finished. She pointed to a bulletin board and said, "Look for yourself."

I took a look at the English inscription that said, "I kindly ask readers to let us know if they find any damage to the book, so as to avoid further damage to the book, thank you for your willingness to tell us!" After reading it, I said, I just did it according to this rule, I didn't send it to the return box to save me time, but lined up in front of you and pointed it out to you. She still didn't have the good feeling to say, I can not fine you this time, but you are wrong this time, and you will not make an example.

It's a little inconvenient to buy things abroad, whether it's a supermarket or a vegetable market to buy something in China, there is a scan code payment, there is no one in other countries, buying things is cash, and then getting back a handful of change, not very convenient, or good at home.

It is understood that a foreign person only sees ten patients a day on average in his life, and I waited outside for two hours for my stomach pain, and the abdominal pain was almost cured before it was my turn to see a doctor, and the efficiency of seeing a doctor was not as fast as in China.

The reason why I was most struggling with whether to return to China was because of the medical treatment. It's too bad to see a doctor in the United States. Domestic doctors, especially those from tertiary hospitals, don't know how many streets of experienced doctors in the United States there are.

Think about the number of patients a few minutes a few minutes a day when a doctor is in an outpatient clinic. Compared to American hospitals, it is said that a doctor cannot see more than 10 patients a day.

After installing a broadband band, I tossed for more than a week, and I made no less than 20 calls**, and my listening and speaking skills have made a qualitative leap. The operator is the cox of the best one in the mouth of the American landlord (there should be a smile here) The first time to call customer service is normal, the little brother is quite enthusiastic, and helped me to install it after five days. Given the consistent efficiency of the U.S. imperialist service staff, this speed has made me grateful.

However, it turned out that I was still in shape, and that day I sat at home with the excitement of returning to civilization, and until nightfall, nothing happened. By the way, it's usually half past eight and it's dark here.

The U.S. leads the world in car ownership per capita, so urban planning is more about commuting by car, often with several highways running directly from the suburbs to downtown. A few steps away from the city center is a highway with roaring traffic, and there are few street shops and stalls where you can casually stroll on the way home, so there is less "popularity" and less security force.

Write about a recent experience, the live broadcast of the Olympics. In the past, when I watched the game in China, the domestic commentators explained it very carefully, not only introducing athletes from their own countries, but also introducing athletes from other countries, from **, how many are currently ranked in the world, what are the historical achievements, advantages and disadvantages, which athletes are dark horses, and which athletes are already famous generals. Take swimming and diving, which I watch the most, and athletes from every country talk about it.

Although they are mainly focusing on the athletes of their own country, there will still be shots of athletes from other countries, and the commentator will even congratulate the athletes of other countries on winning medals after the game, although others will not hear it, and there will even be interviews with athletes from other countries. In the United States, hum their commentator's first priority is to show how awesome the United States is, unless the opponent is so strong that he has competed with the United States for gold medals before, otherwise there is no word at all, for example, Chinese swimmers enter the venue, except for Sun Yang has an introduction and more than 3 seconds of footage, others have no introduction at all, and sometimes there is not even a shot, I have always wondered if it is because they can't pronounce the names of Chinese athletes. For example, Xu Jiayu did not have a camera until he won the silver medal, and gave a shot, with a faint sentence of "China won the second".

In addition, when the domestic live broadcast, the name of the event being played will be in the upper right corner of the screen, but the American TV station does not (yes, I paid attention to it again tonight, in the lower right corner, but it is easy to be blocked by the subtitles or because the subtitles can't be noticed), so if you switch to this channel in the middle of the game, I don't know what to compare at all, when I watch swimming, I often accidentally miss the athlete lane introduction that contains the name of the event, and I don't know what they want to compare at all, and the swimming style can be seen, But how long the swim is, you can only guess by how desperate they swim, and then wait. After the comparison, I think China has really done a much better job than the United States in terms of live broadcast of the Olympic Games, more objective, more detailed, more like hoping that the audience can better appreciate the game no matter what, whether there are Chinese athletes or not, and the United States is more like a cheerleading mentality. In addition, the post-game interview in the United States is not much better than that in China, and it is also to ask you whether you are happy to win the medal, how you are doing, how you feel, at least what I have seen.

Many respondents mentioned poor security, so I'll talk about two more straightforward examples. The first one was told to me by the senior, which is unconfirmed and may have an element of joke. It is said that there is a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans where at least one person is killed every day, and if no one dies, it will be on the local news...

Corroboration, a native of New Orleans said that he was afraid to go to Downtown from Monday to Thursday night as a native of the United States because there were too few police, and drunks who drank too much might draw their guns and shoot at them, and advised us not to go to death.

By the way, to digress, this guy is now in Texas, and he heard that Texas has the title of the province of the United States imperialism in China, and he is famous and quite unfair, and he told me in righteous words that Florida is the authentic province of the Great Cut. Although the people of Texas have a gun in their hands, their main hobby is to shoot deer rather than people, unless someone breaks into their home, but the people of Florida will shoot pedestrians outside the window on a whim... Although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I promised that after he returned to China, he would correct every Chinese's misunderstanding of Texas.

Uh, isn't that also a sign of poor security... The second thing I experienced was that on Independence Day the other day, there was a fireworks show on the banks of the Mississippi River, in the French Quarter. At the end of the show, I walked well at first, but suddenly a few firecrackers rang off behind me.

In the first second, I heard the sound of firecrackers, as a Chinese, the reaction in my head is nothing more than that the Americans are quite festive when firecrackers are set off on National Day. As soon as I turned around in the second second, I was almost scared to pee, and all the black uncles and white aunts behind me were running wildly and screaming, and a very few people seemed to be ready to lie down, anyway, it was the scene after the street **, ** in the American blockbuster. My whole body is Spartan, and I instantly made up the news picture of **TV station reporting on the New Orleans** case affecting Chinese students, and quickly conceived the writing of the suicide note...

Fortunately, in the third second, the police uncle stopped the kid who fired the gun, and the crowd returned to calm... Just lighting a cannon can create this tension, maybe what the senior said is true. <>

It's not as lively as China, it's better to be at night, quiet and terrifying.

I went to Dunhuang for a day trip, there was a pair of French mother and son in the group, they took the book describing Dunhuang in the car and read it very carefully, and they also looked very carefully when they visited, and then the next day they reported a day trip to the Devil's City and met them again, and they were still reading books on the road, and then they bought a lot of Northwest style necklaces, and immediately hung two on their necks, they should like Chinese culture very much!

Of course, in addition to all kinds of praise, there are also some expectations. Some foreigners mentioned that although Shanghai looks fashionable, there are not many English speakers. Before, he asked for directions on the streets of Hong Kong, and he could basically help any passer-by; And in Shanghai, it is not so easy to find someone who can speak English.

It seems that when we go abroad, we don't only have language problems with foreigners. Therefore, learning English well is particularly important in this open era.

Before I arrived, I thought that China was a developing country, and that its economic level should be about the same as their own country, but first the plane flew to Guangzhou, and then the high-speed train to Changsha, all the way were full of high-rise buildings and highways, and I couldn't help but have deep doubts about the definition of "developing country".

When I was in Shanghai, I followed an Australian tour group, the group was full of university teachers, they all liked Shanghai very much, and the most impressive was a female teacher in her fifties, who put her hands on her chest and said reverently; She likes Shanghai so much that she's been here seven or eight times. Then, when everyone went to visit the City God Temple, she went to the Shanghai Museum alone. When the foreigners saw those silk scarf shops in the City God Temple, they were like crazy, and they said that they looked good, and they couldn't wait to put the silk scarves back in a sack!

When foreigners come to China, first of all, they will be shocked by China's development. The development I'm referring to here is the hardware side. Now China's hardware development has even caught up with developed countries, which is really not an exaggeration.

In fact, for foreigners who come to China, they will re-understand China and be shocked by China's rapid development.

Let me tell you how the foreigners I met during my trip made me feel. When he left Changbai Mountain that year, he met a foreign guy on the train, riding a bicycle to travel to China (the bicycle was consigned on the train), he said that the scenery of China is too beautiful, Changbai Mountain is too beautiful, Chinese food is too delicious, his favorite is mapo tofu, let me write these four words on his small book, and then order directly to the boss to see, I am very interested in the UFO dry noodles I made, for the friendship of the landlord, I will give him all to eat, he said that he has not eaten before, the taste is very good. He said that when he ran out of money this time, he would go back to work and earn money and come to China to play again, when he was 28 years old.

Due to work, we often have other countries in our office to assist or guide our foreign colleagues. As hosts, we naturally have to do our best to be landlords. In addition to introducing Chinese customs to foreign friends, I often take them to taste special snacks and walk into the streets and alleys of Shanghai at noon and after work.

Every time I ask the other person the same question, what do you think of China? The answers are varied, of course, but many people will mention the same thing, and that is security.

Some foreign tourists say that there are so many tourist attractions in China that they can only visit a few places once, so they miss out on a lot of beautiful scenery. China has a vast territory, vast land and many ethnic groups, with magnificent mountains and rivers, rich and colorful folk customs, peculiar flora and fauna and countless places of interest and historic sites, coupled with unique opera, **, dance and world-renowned food, attracting a large number of foreign tourists every year.

When I travel in Europe, I often ask foreigners about this question. Ordinary Europeans will first think that China is too far, China is too big, and there are too many Chinese. Another first reaction of Europeans today is:

The Chinese are too rich. Since the average European life is a normal life, the income is stable, but there is not much money. They like to go on vacation, but they may be relatively conservative when it comes to going "so far" in China.

Because going to China ** is "too expensive". Although it is expensive, many Europeans yearn for China and want to see that ancient country. I was in Poland and chatted with a tour guide who often leads tours.

The tour guide told me that the country that Poles yearn for the most is China. After he led the group to China, the first reaction of Polish tourists was usually: China is so big.

They were surprised because China was bigger than they thought, with taller buildings and more populous people. Because of the propaganda of the Western world, it is usually the kind of life and clothing that Chinese lived and wore decades ago. But when Europeans came to China, they found that it was not what they remembered, but a fashionable big city, and they were rustic.

Therefore, Europeans who have been to China will have a better understanding of China's situation, and when they go back, they will tell others how strong China is and many interesting things they have experienced in China. What they said was also very popular with the audience. In fact, it is the same for us.

If you don't go to Europe and sit at home and watch the news all day, then your impression of Europe is not correct.
