Some unexpected things happened to my two foreign friends after they came to China. Many things he experienced for the first time, sometimes almost make a joke.

1. Only after foreigners came to China did they know that Chinese people ate with two sticks instead of hands. Later, under the influence of Chinese culture, they gradually got used to using chopsticks.

2, Chinese buses can be so luxurious, and many are the kind of unmanned ticket, can sit in the Chinese bus, than sitting in their country's taxi above are more comfortable, and the bus also supports the station in both Chinese and English. None of this is available in their country.

3. The foreign friend was very surprised by the speed of construction in China. It only took 10 days to complete the project in China that was done in five years in his country (Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital). This is unthinkable in their country.

4. Foreigners are curious about Chinese kung fu. They think everyone in China can do kung fu, and they think Chinese kung Fu is great. Many foreign friends their idols in their hearts are the Chinese kung fu king Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and so on. Many foreigners want to learn Chinese kung fu.

5. Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion technology is very famous in the world. Foreigners only know that acupuncture and moxibustion is such a magical thing after they come to China. A lot of body uncomfortable, just need to use a small needle for a while, the body will be better. They don't have that technology outside of their country.

6, in the eyes of foreigners, speaking of China will be associated with rich, China is equal to rich. If you want something, you will buy it immediately. It feels like the Chinese have endless money to spend. This is the first feeling when foreigners come to China.

7. When foreigners come to China, they know that Chinese is really difficult to learn. It is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Chinese is difficult, in the eyes of foreigners specific difficulty in polyphonics, homophones above.

8. Foreigners came to China only to know that China's high-speed rail can be so stable, and the speed is so fast, if in their country, it is impossible to have such a train. Chinese manufacturing techniques are quite impressive.

9. To the foreigner's surprise, Chinese people drink hot water so often that they always drink hot water no matter how hot it is in summer. Wouldn't it be better to drink cold water?

10. Foreigners wonder why they have to pay high dowry prices to marry their daughters in China. There would be no such betrothal price in their country, as long as men and women want to live together, there is no need for betrothal price.

11. What foreigners don't understand is that there are a lot of festivals in China. Almost every month there will be a festival.

12, Chinese people go to the toilet is squatting to go to the toilet, not sitting a little more comfortable? In his opinion, Chinese people can squat in a fixed place for a long time. They are not allowed to do Asian squat, foreigners are curious about this, why the Chinese can squat, they can not squat?

13. In the impression of foreigners, the square dance of Chinese damas is Chinese kung fu. They practice in a fixed place every evening. This is also the foreigner special curiosity, half a year later, the foreigner also quietly learned to dance square dance.

14, Chinese people eat very strange things, are some chicken feet, pig feet, pig ears, but also particularly like to chew bones. Foreigners admire the Chinese chef's cooking skills, can make these things, quite delicious. For example, foreigners used to not eat chicken feet, after coming to China, like to eat chicken feet.

15, Chinese traditional medicine in the eyes of foreigners is very difficult to drink things, but it can cure, some simple bark, leaves together, boil out the juice, people drink actually can cure, this makes foreigners very curious. I didn't understand it until this year. This is the charm of Chinese medicine.

16. Chinese people don't even need to take money when they go out. They just need to take a mobile phone. Internet speeds are also pretty fast, with Wi-Fi available in many places.

17. Before coming to China, they thought China was backward and lived by kerosene lamp. After coming to China, they felt that China's development is really too impressive. China is different from what they see in their country. It is full of tall buildings. He also felt better that many people knew a little English.

18, the first time to take foreigners to eat China's Haidilao, foreigners direct start, let him incredible thing, is in the hot pot, what dishes can be cooked in it to eat, but also have a different taste, the first time Haidilao, has fallen in love with this kind of food.

19, China's public security is really very good, there will be no fighting or robbery in the street, if in their country, a person walking in the street, often see someone robbed, or the sound of gunfire. This made the foreigner feel safe in his job.

20, to China just know, a lot of restaurants are to eat after the money, this makes the Laowai feel very good, and there is no escape single person, if this measure is placed abroad, their country's people eat dinner directly slip away. Chinese quality is really high.
