Things I love about China:
- The other night when I walked out of the subway I heard some music and saw people dancing. When I got closer, I saw that a bunch of old couples had brought a boom box and were all dancing! It was so cute! I couldn't stop smiling all the way home.
- That people are giving up their seats on the subway and bus for me to sit since I'm wearing a sling. It might become my permanent sling when I'm using public transportation.
Things I don't love about China:
- How OBSESSED they are with weight/being skinny/looks. It is not considered rude here to tell someone they are fat, or have gotten fatter. Anyone can ask anyone their age. Looks are important, and I just found out that the reason I rarely see gray hair here is because even the old people dye their hair black! However, most girls don't wear makeup and dress lame (blog about Chinese style on the way...). The reason I don't love this about China is because yesterday, one of the Chinese teachers told me right before my class that I was fatter than when I first started teaching. I responded with "oh..." and a mental note to never eat again.
