Now that I’m back in Canada…

Things I will NOT miss from China:

  • Mobs of Chinese people EVERYWHERE
  • Yelling Asians (they’re not even angry, it’s just how they talk normally)
  • People spitting everywhere (do Chinese people produce more spit then other races?)
  • Children peeing & pooing on the street
  • Forceful vendors chasing you to try to sell you things
  • People having no respect for the concept of queuing
  • Cars honking (so loud that I can hear it from the 46th floor of my apartment)
  • The traffic (don’t even get me started, it’s a jungle here. I feel like I’m literally risking my life every time I cross a street)
  • People smoking everywhere
  • People playing loud music in public transportation without using headphones
  • Dirty, DIRTY bathrooms that never come with tissue paper (the toilet’s basically a hole on the ground)
  • Clothing/electronics/food/water of very questionable quality
  • Never being able to see blue skies or the sun due to air pollution
  • Having to use a converter for all my electronics
  • Having to wait for water to heat up in my apartment (which takes around half an hour everytime)
  • Vendors calling every customer 美女(pretty lady) or 帥哥 (handsome boy), it just ain’t special if EVERYONE is good-looking to them…

Things I WILL miss from China:

  • FOOD (so cheap and accessible at all hours)
  • Cheap transportation (lots of bus, trains, and taxis)
  • Cheap youth hostels
  • Cheap clothing and accessories (like cellphone covers)
  • Relatively low living cost in general (for a foreigner)
  • Relatively cheap & convenient every day services (like getting massages, ordering take-out, doing nails, dry cleaning expensive handbags/coats…etc)
  • Lots of places to travel to (China is HUGE)
  • Curious people wanting to chat with us (Since it’s pretty obvious that we’re foreigners, they always want to know where we’re from)
  • The awesome view from our 46th floored apartment
  • All the crazy adventures with le bf ):
