Discussion
What culture shocks might a foreigner face in China





Discussion
China is one of the biggest countries in the world and there are many foreigners here. However, as a foreigner, I may still face some culture shocks.
The first culture shock can be the language. Even if I have learnt some Chinese, I will find it even more difficult to understand.
The second can be the way to eat. Chinese use chopsticks to eat. It may be difficult for me to get used to it. I may have trouble in using chopsticks to eat.
The last one will be the food. Chinese always have dumplings, rice and some dishes while I have bread, potatoes and salad in the U.S..
