Hey Claire and all friends, Obviously it's different! People from south and north part of China think and behave totally differently! First,I don't like the weather in beijing.Too dry and too cold(the winter almost lasts for 5 months which kills me~) Second,i don't like the food in beijing.Large plate of dishes without any taste.Cantonese always drink soup(all kinds of nutrient soup with different Chinese Medical herbs)first and then eat. However,now it becomes better and better-'Coz you can find restaurants with different flavors from the whole China in Beijing now^ - ^
Beijingers prefer the social status,meanwhile Cantonese prefer the business opportunities(money^ - ^).But social status and money benefit each other,right? So it's all depend on the people's ability. But i like Beijing too. Since the people here are warm-hearted, and it's with a lot of cultural and political atomosphere like any capital city in the world.You can meet people always talks about the politics which makes them feel more proud of this country~But sometimes i think they talk too much and do too little~ANYWAY,it's just their ways of life~ Before i came to beijing three years ago, i didn't quite care about the politics,but now it's quite part of my life to care about the big issues in China.I suppose Chinese people from different parts should often exchange or travel,then they will get more understanding of China.'Coz China is so big~^ ^ On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 6:08 PM, claire <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello June Jun Oshiro Reinaldo Eduardo Vera Charles Pln and all, > > Warm welcome,June! > It's been heavily snowing in Beijing there,hasn't it? > I hope it hasn't disrupted your working life much... > > As a Cantonese from the southern China living and working in the > capital Beijing,have you had any insights to share with us? > Foreigners generally think it's a country where most people think and > hehave the same. > But is it true in your eyes?;) > > Looking forward to your next message! > > Great start of the week,everyone around the globe! > Claire > > On Nov 14, 6:51 am, huang june <[email protected]> wrote: > > Luckily this blackout just lasted for four hours.There is no doubt that > man > > is more and more dependable on electricity. > > I am sorry since i joined this group, i haven't declared myself yet.My > name > > is Junehuang,Cantonese,27,serving for a pharmaceutical firm in China.I > like > > travelling and meet friends worldwide.Nice to meet you all~ > > Have a nice weekend, > > > > On Sat, Nov 14, 2009 at 1:42 AM, Rafael Oshiro <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello Eduardo, June, Reinaldo, Jun and all > > > > > Jun, the outage lasted for almost 5 hours or so to affected areas get > > > recovered completely.
