However, slowly I began to a lot about the culture and about where many of their came from. I decided to make an effort to meet people and from them.
I am living in Harbin now, a city in the Northern part of China, near Russia. Yesterday I to get money from the ATM and have a good cup of coffee after lunch. But I can’t speak Chinese yet and there are no signs in English the nearest supermarket or coffee shop. There are signs in Russian. “espaciba” which means thanks, I don’t know much else. I decided to smile at my every attempt to and ask for information that would me to an ATM and a coffee shop. It turned out that my efforts and my were met with more smiles. I learned that is to be found everywhere even I cannot communicate, and that people will depending on what I give.
Look around you for opportunities to learn from the most people. You will be surprised at what they can you!
