中国见闻小访

Name:Savio (gentleman) Years in China:5 years 1.What surprised you the most during your stay in China? Definitely the thing that surprised me most when I came to China the first time was to see how many people you could find in the same place.Since in my home country I was living in a small village,it was very difficult to get used to being always surrounded by so many people. Another one was to realize how "cold" Chinese people are while they greet each other.In my country,every time we meet someone,we would shake hands quite strongly,give hugs and even exchange kisses regardless if we know each other for long time or not.Here in China all those things are not common at all.Sometimes I have to control myself in order to avoid embarrassing Chinese people around me.
