my favorite restaurant I would like to talk about my favorite restaurant near my work place. There are a lot of restaurants near my work place Chongwenmen in the centre of Beijing.Since this area is one of the most important bussiness parts in this city, generally foods here are more expensive comparing to the price in other places. Eeven a little bowl of soup made by some water and a cabage leaf costs more than 7yuan.So actualy, I dont love any of them. However, we can still choose a talleast one from dwarves.hehe. My favorite restaurant's name is The spicy spirit of which location near Chongwenmen Subway station. Foods there are very delicious, of course, expensive too. The main flavor of their food is "spicy and numb" like most Sichuan or Chongqing food.And they make the food very delicately. For example, the steaks are small, and half meat half bone, every piece look the same size, when you see it, you know they are chosen carefully. Oh, it is really tasty, by the way, they have different types of steaks, I love the one made with sugar and vinigar,although it is not spicy at all. My friend loves the spicy snails there, but I dont know, because I am afraid of such things.I just eat regular foods,haha!

to some degree, Chinese is more"open minded" my boyfriend is American, we oftern talk about the culture shock between China and the western countries. One day, we talked about the regions on our dinner with a lot of foreigners. He told me, some Americans call black people raised in the US oreo, because they have black skin outside but white heart inside. Also, they call Asian people raised in the USA like my boyfriend banana. I said,so you will call white people who live in China eggs?haha. he said yes! I think it is very funny. But my boyfriend said it is not so funny, actully, it is rude when you say it in the USA. many people are sensitive on this topic. I think no Chinese think it is rude until some one tell us. Generally, western people are considered more polite or socialble in the world, but I think it is just because they have different histories. Compared to Western people, Chinese seem to be more open minded on the topic of pravicy or religion or region..and we show our respect to western people, but to tell the truth, I think most Chinese dont really understand why they are rude. Can I think in this way :to some degree, we look more conversave, but we are actully more open minded? no bias, just my thoughts.hopefully I havent hurt anyone here.

I am confused I am a reporter in China, I never thought my writing would be a problem until I began to write English. When I show my Enlish writing to one of my American friend, he pointed out, my writing's logic was not western logic at all. He said in English writing I had better make everything as clear as I can, you cant jump here and there. He also said I need to list my ideas before I write, then follow the patterns. I think his way to write is fine, but I hate patterns, and I think writing shouldnt have so many patterns except you write for your exams. I prefer to write what I saw, what I thought, maybe I coundnt give my clear ideas in my writing sometimes, but it is my feelings. I think the feeling in your article is more important than the model or pattern stuff. A good artile is like a good song, you make people feel what you feel, or give them asperisons. I am really confused about this, I dont know if it is the culture shock. By the way, is this one of the reasons why have no The Nobel Prize in Literature si far? hehe, if so, I have to say, what a shame...

where to spend the spring festival As the spring festival is coming, most Chinese people are planning to go home, and spend the precious vacation with their parents. But here is a question, if you are married, whose home will you go back to? The husband’s or the wife’s? China’s tradition seems very clear on this issue: definitely the husband’s home. As the saying in China, once you get married, you should always follow your husband no matter he is a chicken or a dog. Another similar saying is a daughter who has married is like the water you have poured, which means you can never get back. In thousands of years, Chinese women obeyed the rule without any problem. But with the development of the economic and the awareness of women’s thoughts nowadays, some women have realized tradition is not always reasonable. Here are 3 main reasons. First of all, women and men were both born equal, and have the same rights as men’s. Second, both of their parents spent a lot of efforts to raise them, women’s parents miss their daughter too. The most important reason is, compared to the situation years before, now is very different ,because of the one child policy in China, your wife is the only kid her parents have too. The feeling of homesickness of married women is much stronger nowadays. So I think Chinese men should be more open minded. If you love your wife, you should show your understanding and respect to her.
