So I've been in China for a week and two days now. Well it's definitely an interesting place. You can definitely tell you are not in the developed world anymore. It's the little things like the ill-planned traffic and transportation plans to the constant weird smells here. The people... I'll put it onto cultural differences.
People here very crass and a little rude to a foreigner such as myself. People spit everywhere. My uncle whom I met recently find it shocking that people are so affronted by the idea of spitting in public. The people just let one rip anywhere. Laying in the park. IN THE ELEVATOR!! OMG I can't believe I went up 21 floors without passing out. There's just a different sense of decency here. People here are like the Chinese people I met in Europe, they don't reply to you when you say hello or goodbye. That goes for some of my co-workers too.
Work is the same. A little tiring trying to catch up from the one week of non-stop case studies and packing. The people at work are cliquey. They all have their own cliques and it's hard to integrate. I hope it'll be better once Adam and the new BA's get here. I know the feeling I have right now. I'm not even going to type it but I have to do something about it or it's going to eat away at me. I fear I might be in over my head. Happiness has to be created like I how had it in Germany. God. Ich vermisse dich Deutschland. Why did I leave again?
