Hello everyone. I looked back at what I wrote to you all a few days ago, and in retrospect it seems like I was making some judgements about Chinese culture that I simply cannot make, having been in the country for only about a month. Those are simply observations, what I have seen and heard thus far. In addition, I shouldn’t talk about Chinese people as a whole, but only those I see in Dalian. I realize that China is not actually homogenous; it is a huge country with many different groups of people from local regions. I apologize for coming off the way I did, but I was partly just trying to be funny.
