Daddy CCTV showed again his favorite Yuzuru Hanyu. They showed him again in their big screen at the public place. (This screen usually only show current politics & Chinese athletes news)

Praying for everyone affected by the earthquake in Xizang and for all the rescuers working tirelessly to save lives and bring hope. May this warm meal bring healing and strength in these difficult times. 🙏
So I arrived in China today, and I immediately noticed these 3 differences...
1. Chinese people are way more helpful
My girlfriend wasn't feeling well and wanted to get some water so she asked a restaurant if they had any bottled water we could buy.
They didn't, but she said she'd go to the kitchen and grab her a glass of water.
Just a little thing, but I could never see this happening in France.
2. Chinese people are so chatty and easy to make friends with
We were in UNIQLO, I went back to find my girlfriend and I saw she was chatting with a girl, they were laughing together while trying on different jumpers and discussing which colour looked better 😂.
I don't think this happens so frequently in the western countries I've lived in (Australia and France) — How common it is to get chatting and be friends with random people, shop keepers, fruit shop sales people in China is next level.
3. Safety on trains
I bang on about this often, but that's because it's just so eye openly evident.
We grabbed a train to go shopping and you looked up the train, it was just so chill, clean, ordinary and quiet.
Strange that ordinary can feel so bizarre - In Paris you'll always see a drugged up person asking for money, the station smelling like pee or a homeless person sleeping on the train seat.
And can you believe you have a security person onboard all trains in China...Move him to Paris trains where his needed I think 🤷♂️

It's interesting, the little quirks you pick up on and you're like, "hey that isn't like that back home" but it be cool if it was or happened more often
