After being in China for 4 days I have learned a lot about the culture. The traffic laws are definitely more lenient. As many know, tons of people on the street are on bikes. As a result, cars constantly blow their horns to make the bicycle riders move out of the way. When I was walking down the street for the first time I immediately noticed the top of the sky scrapers were all smoke; in fact, the whole sky was flooded with smoke; everyday afterwards it was the same. In Tianjin China, every morning seems like a foggy morning and every day is like a cloudy day. The sun can’t even shine through the smoke the entire way.
During my first week my teacher took us all to 古文化街. We went by taxi. The ride was only 8 RMB, about $ 1.20 dollars. However, this location was quite far. The cheap price made me understand how services in China are very cheap. At古文化街 I learned about Chinese markets. This shopping area has many interesting items for sale. Here, I experienced my first bargaining with a Chinese person. Actually, before this day I have never bargained for anything.
