Guess the Country-The Girl From Xinjiang Chinese
The Chinese like to do a very simple game: guess the nationality of waiguoren passing. It 's very easy to hear people who whispers (or yells quietly) and tries to guess your nationality, without any concern that maybe-you-can understand them.
I've been here in February and I really feel for all colors: French, American, Russian, English .... But once we have ever guessed! And yes most of them brings with Kappa t-shirts printed in large, "ITALY". Now why in all the dozens of Chinese who have not played guess who ventured a simple "Italy"? Are we really so little consideration?
A funny thing happened at the Temple of Heaven, when we requested information from a guy who then asked us where we came from, and our response to "Italy", he replied with a fierce and determined: "A la derecha! " This
to understand how much they have a clear idea ...
But there are two Chinese who have gone further. Let me explain: two weeks ago I was in the direct bus to the Forbidden City with my Chinese friend and they were chatting. A woman, after thinking long-squared, speaks to us with: "Ah, you're in Xinjiang (Uighur Autunoma Region, north of Tibet)?"
being too upset to talk (come on, how can you switch me to Eastern Europe?), My friend responds for me and clarifies the misunderstanding, even if the lady does not seem so convinced ...
The problem is that the same scene repeated itself last week. Also on the bus, a kind old lady looks at me pleased and asks, "Xinjiang, right?"
burst out laughing, replies: "Actually I'm Italian ..." "Really?" "Yes!" "But it seems a Xinjiang" "Yes, but Western European ..." "So why do you speak Chinese so well?"
To which I imagined, considering inconceivable a foreigner who speaks Chinese, I have labeled as Xinjiang is a place so far, who knows how those facts are there?
But a little 'I feel honored: I have a exotic appearance certificate from two Chinese.

Lucusville Fleamarket
Mode / Love conquers everything. Also on the taste.
Small update to share with you two little gems that I discovered recently.
- In Beijing it's hot. But so too. That kind of hot that makes you dream of a nice pool of icy water, and it becomes absolutely unbearable if you have to move with buses and subway crammed full of Chinese.
The interesting thing is that the Chinese have to fight the heat of the mania going around with his shirt pulled up, so you have to admire how well their tummy.
The problem is that everyone I've seen in this way were not a pretty sight. Not a bit '.
- Here many couples walk around with T-shirts equal. That is, we realize? Dressed the same ... there is no religion. The good thing is that it seems to me that the girls are here to command, because you see so many poor unfortunate souls wearing arm air bag sequins girlfriend.
still do not understand, but China is good for this.

Bmi Chart For Women Large Chest
Little Japan is Sinking
I know there is always the same habit of Chinese and Japanese. I advise you not to share but not a Chinese or Korean for Japanese, since its not very good blood flow.
An example? In (almost) every map in the classroom of the university, Japan is to be erased with an indelible black and above there is a better written as follows: 小 日本 沉没 ("Little Japan sinks").
So, be careful.

Linda Goodman Astrology For 2010
lesson in good manners
I state that I love China, as well as its wonderful people, but after two months passed and I am here to speak my mind on some things.
1 - You should stop whispering (or shouting, as your usual) "waiguoren, waiguoren" as soon as I see. I know. I am a monster of the West, but I have nothing other than you, so stop it. Also because I feel you ...
2 - I'm not French, nor American. So stop it trying to guess my country so that we do not ever hit.
3 - Yes, in Italy they speak Italian. E no, "derecha" is not Italian.
4 - If, when I check in for the meter before you put the bag, it is useless to me passing by, because always before my time will come.
5 - Just shove by metro or bus: you broke.
6 - yellow lines with arrows drawn on the ground serve to make you stand in line. Really, is not as difficult as what.
7 - If I speak in Chinese, do not try to answer with an improbable English, which just complicate things.
8 - If you want to make me a picture, ask me. Do not try to do it secretly, so that you always sgam why not remove the sound from the phone.
9 - If you fill in the disco of nudges and pushes you away with violence, the meaning is clear: dislodged.
10 - Just because Western does not mean it's stupid or that money has come out of the pockets.
And these are enough for now. I've vented enough. Small esiliranti
