Chinese people and the foreigners

Once somebody asked why I don't write about my life in China. First I thought that cannot be so interesting. Life is the same everywhere. I mean, we work, eat and relax.

But after living for 2 years in China, now I have something to say. Today's subject is Chinese people and the foreigners.

I lived in a big city and in small cities. Even in a big city Chinese people stairs at you and points toward you as if it would be the first time they saw a white person. In many cases this is true. This is their first time to see a westener. In small cities the situation even worse. I guess nobody told them staring at someone is very impolite. (Manners will be a different subject)

From pesonal experience I can tell many Chinese wants to be your friend becuase you are foreigner and they want to profit from it. I am labeled by many Chinese as "cute".

Which I don't know what does it really mean to them. Maybe it can be translated as interesting, funny and childish in a nice way. I had a good Chinese friend she started as "you are so cute" and it turned into "why are you behaving like a child, why don't you behave like an adult?". She is 24 and desperately wants to behave as an adult (according to her ideal). So when somebody says to me you are so cute I don't buy it anymore.

Of course, foreigners suppose to be rich and their home country also suppose to be beautiful (something like Canada). But who can blame them for this. They watch those american soaps about the "rich and famous", those unrealistic rubbish. Chinese people are naiv and uneducated in this sense. Most of them are thinking in black and white and very unflexible. They lack of imagination and flexibility. Of course, there are exceptions!!!!!!! On the other hand, it's good to be a foreigner because most of the time they treat you as a princess or prince. A foreigner is a unicum, special. They are much nicer to you in the shops as to their fellow Chinese (I personally think shame on them). That's all folks for today.

Happiness - Boldogsag

In this running lifestyle we hardly have time to relax, play and enjoy the moment.

Well, these people at Trafalgar square has (mainly tourists).

The two kids were so happy just playing with and in the water. Jumping up and down in the puddle. When they got bored of it they went to climb the stairs.

Ebben a rohano vilagban szinte alig van ido pihenesre, jatekra es a pillanat elvezesere.

Ezeknek az embereknek (fokent turistak) itt a Trafalgar teren van.

A ket gyerek boldogan jatszott a vizzel/vizben. Ugrandoztok es rohangaltak a tocsaban. Amikor rauntak lepcsomaszasba kezdtek. Olyan jo volt latni, hogy a szulok nem parancsoltak ki oket a tocsabol. (Jo ido volt!)

Kids & Love - Gyerekek a szeretetrol

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy -age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (What an imagination) Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four-year-old child whose next-door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry,the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
