1)
When living in Italy, I always said: loud - louder - Italy.
but there is an increase:
loud - louder - Italy - China.

I have a stereotype of an old chinese on my mind: sitting with his traditional hat, holding one hand behind his ears, because he is deaf.
Now I ask myself: what was first, the chicken or the egg? translated to chinese: what was first: the deaf one, or the cars blowing their horn?

2)
chinese traffic is like a dog: you must not show your fear, and it won't harm you.
all are complaining about chinese traffic. well, me as well, because of the exhaust fumes (Abgase). not of the way of traffic - I got used to that in Italy.
If you step on the road, they will stop (or go around you). but nevertheless one has to be careful.

4)
solitude.
last year I was looking for it, I found it, and I appreciated it.
This year, not possible. one is never alone. And as a foreigner sometimes I feel to be a trophy: "may I take a picture with you?"="one more picture with a foreigner - yesss!". they sometimes dont even ask, where Iam from. but at the same time one is lonesome. but a sad lonliness.
