The question I put to the people is always the same: Why China?

The reasons are many: first it is very important opportunity for cultural exchange. observe the Chinese mentality and how it manifests itself in everyday life, to see how the modernity of these cities is mixed with the history and tradition of China, an important food for thought: you feel deeply the difference between our cultures. The Communist Party is trying in every way to modernize the city and erase any signs di antichità e di storia (processo che comincio con Mao Zedong poiché egli voleva cominciare un nuovo capitolo della storia cinese cercando di cancellare le tracce di un passato che cozzava con gli ideali del partito comunista) restano comunque numerosi indizi di un passato culturale importante. Per permettere che ciò avvenga si "espropriano" (non è corretto usare il termine esproprio, ma rende l'idea, poiché in Cina ogni terra è di proprietà del governo nonostante sia per esempio stata comprata da un cittadino) le terre per radere al suolo le vecchie case e gli hutong, i tipici quartieri vecchi cinesi, e fare posto a vertiginosi grattacieli di 30/50 piani. Ogni volta che capita di camminare in questi quartieri c'è da perdersi because the buildings are all the same seem to be made with the mold and therefore are numbered so that people can recognize their own homes.

There is also the desire to make our cities similar to cities in Europe / U.S.: If you walk along the river to Shanghai, on the one side are the palaces of Roman-Gothic style reminiscent of the more capital European illuminatissimi and other modern skyscrapers are reminiscent of those in Hong Kong they are installed on the costly effects of light and huge video screens which are projected the advertising of the big U.S. multinationals in the outskirts of Shanghai, and westernize are inevitably culture. Then there is the perception of being in the west, in some ways seems to walk through Dublin or Vienna, but we perceive that there is "something strange" that you are not really there.

Despite living here for a foreigner is not easy as it may seem, few people speak English and communication difficulties are many. However it is not an insurmountable obstacle, the people are very friendly and helpful, always ready to lend a hand, especially the "laowai," foreigners in some areas are still regarded with admiration and curiosity in spite of globalization is ormai cosmopolizzando questo paese e l'expo abbia portato nella zona una notevole quantità di turisti.

Oltre che alle costruzioni, anche le infrastrutture e i servizi sono impressionanti. E il governo investe molto in tutto ciò. Ogni giorno, ad esempio, ci sono treni veloci che collegano le maggiori città cinesi; sono treni ad alta velocità che sfiorano i 320 km/orari e sono puntuali come orologi svizzeri. Se ne trovano a tutte le ore. Inoltre le maggiori città cinesi sono dinamiche e piene di vita, la giornata lavorativa è di sette giorni su sette e comincia alle 5 della mattina per finire tardi la sera, nel giro di pochi anni le città si trasformano in maniera sensibile, where there was nothing a few years ago you can find whole new neighborhoods, and every day you hear fireworks at all hours in China are used when something is launched from small shops to large shopping center to a station meter before the close.

Pollution and perceptible is impressive, however, unlike our cities Shanghai and other big cities are full of parks and green areas where you see grandparents with their grandchildren to walk at any time of day. Cities are generally clean and safe, the police patrols are few as they are only required to handle the traffic. The Chinese law is very tough That is why crime, especially against foreigners, is very small.

Life in the city is not as costly to us, this opens the door to many activities and some luxury, travel in the first place. Airline tickets and hotels are cheap, for example, a weekend in Hangzhou, a city in southern China known for its gardens and canals, can cost € 100 all inclusive with no sacrifices.

If we move outside the cities, however, the scenario changes. The poverty there, but getting better with age. The districts are located on the old China rivers where women wash, goofing around their children, and grandparents all play Chinese chess set. They are all smiling in spite of living is very frugal and just happen to see a stranger when we find ourselves surrounded by locals, eager to invite you to drink a cup of tea at home. This is still the real China, far from major cities, but that inevitably is under the influence of these and that is destined to change.

Study in China, is one of the opportunities that best advice, not only to experience the huge cultural difference can be perceived in every conversation, in any form of contact, but also to live in a system completely different from ours, that an extra impetus to the new generations, offering many opportunities for comparison and reflection and that opens the mind to new ideas and different cultural, not only because the mentality and culture are different from those we know but especially compared to Europe and America because it is a new horizon in continuous development that enables young people to have endless opportunities for growth both personal and in the workplace.

My plan is to stay in China until January 2001. I have no specific plans yet for the future, definitely live here made me feel great career opportunities and personal growth that may occur in a developing country like this, for these reasons, my choice for the future is surely, if possible, focused on this new horizon.
