What Does an American Student Like and Dislike about China



Check out these two videos clips about what an American student likes and dislikes about China. FUNNY!!







Surprisingly, I totally agree with his dislike about China.
In terms of his like about China,
First, the exchange rate to US dollar has become 6:1. Food in Beijing and Shanghai is not as cheap as he claimed because of the inflation taking place from last year. Just three people dining in a restaurant of TGI Friday level in Beijing will cost about 400 Chinese Yuan, equivalent to 67 US dollars.
Personally, I think American people are much nicer than Chinese people. THIS IS MY LIKE ABOUT AMERICA. Chinese people will not definitely push the door for another person who comes after him or her; or smile to each other frequently on streets. Otherwise, people would assume you are flirting or something. Probably because I am not a nice person, I did not notice the nice quality of our people.
After watching this, I began to wonder when to make my videos of WHAT I LIKE AND DISLIKE ABOUT AMERICA.

      I found it on Weibo- Chinese parallel of twitter. These two videos are very popular on Weibo.

    This is a great article discussing the U.S. love/hate relationship with China...http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/13/news/economy/china_us_relations/index.htm?iid=HP_Highlight&hpt=hp_c1

    I think this part ("Chinese people will not definitely push the door for another person who comes after him or her; or smile to each other frequently on streets. Otherwise, people would assume you are flirting or something." ) is not only in China. The same in Korea. Last year, in Korea, I smiled at a guy on the metro and his girl friend was mad at me. UGH... Over all I was married and he was not cute AT ALL.... :(
    Also, I kept holding doors habitually, and almost every time, I was holding the door for the next several ppl and then had to let it go. lol
