China is not the most popular country in Russia, but many people still live there. Anna, from the city of Russia, told how she had successfully adapted to China for a year and a half and changed the job where it was more in line with local needs.
public transportation is very developed here.
Anna was born in the base. After graduating from high school, I went to Moscow and entered journalism department. And won a grant to study in the United States, but did not issue a visa. But Anna decided to go abroad and finally chose China. At first she stayed in Beijing. At that time, Anna could not speak Chinese, so the choice of work was limited to teaching Russian and English. She chose the more interesting teaching English for children aged 3 to 6.
China's housing prices are rising. Beijing and Shanghai have entered the world's most expensive cities. Any house, no matter how small or broken, must be sold out. The price of a good apartment starts from several million yuan, and is increasing year by year due to overpopulation. Most families live together for generations. In her opinion, Chinese often spend money, but if they have a lot of money in their hands, they will be used to buy houses for themselves and their children.
after moving to Shanghai, Anna realized that his first year of life in China was "not local": eating only the food he was accustomed to, communicating with foreigners only, speaking English at work. The foreigners here are divided into two categories. A group of people can live for many years without learning any Chinese, eating pizza and hamburgers, and interacting with Europeans. And the other kind of people integrate into the local culture. At the beginning of the second years of her life, she decided that she wanted to stay in this country, at least in recent years, so she began to learn language. In addition, she began an interesting attempt to live in a Chinese family. The important part of the overhead of
is traffic. The cars here are very expensive. But this is not the primary necessity, because China's public transport is very developed. For example, it takes 25 minutes to get high speed rail to another city.
China's food is much cheaper and bigger than Europe's. But Anna said he would not eat Chinese food every day. She is not used to eating many Chinese food: chicken feet, pig cartilage, duck brain soup and so on. Here she tasted the donkey for the first time. The most failed attempt was the meat of the rat. Often, if the food is delicious, she will not ask what it is doing because she is afraid of being frightened by the answer. Anna believes that China has more than a billion people to feed all these people, so they will regard those foreigners who think they can't eat as food.
