(some) facts about china

been about 2 weeks in china, and i see some interesting facts about china, here are some of them that caught my attention

it happens everywhere, from the printing on shirts, building's signs to warning in airports, they misspelled a lot of words, haha..

many chinese starts to work at an early age
there are many youngsters working at restaurants, hotels, gas stations, higher education is still limited.

china temperature varies widely between season
as high as 39 degree and as low as -4 degree in the same place! maybe it's because china has 4 seasons.

chinese drivers sits in the left of the car
and their taxi have iron bars..

in china, houses are mostly apartment
unlike Indonesia, most chinese live in apartment, maybe china governor want to conserve housing land... since they have to provide housing for 1 billion people

chinese use toilet papers >.<

quite strange, chinese usually eat other food first, and rice is last

chinese prefer to drink hot water than normal or cold water
hmm.. maybe it's good for health??

fork and spoons are rare
they're only available at big restaurants, mostly they use chopsticks >.<
