Friends You Say?

2014 April 17 by Benjamin Gilpin

Well hello again today lets talk about making friends in China. At first it is a little hard for you to make some friends because at first they have a shyness barrier to overcome but once you are able to overcome that you will have more friends than you would have normally. I had an experience because i had worn shorts the whole time i was here even when it was really cold for others i just don’t feel it in my legs. Anyway, i asked one of my friends that goes by the name Vincent, he is Chinese, i asked him if wearing shorts was weird. He said that when he saw me he was a little afraid of me because i was wearing shorts where others were wearing heavy coats. So i had some difficulties because of my shorts, but in the end i was able to make many friends as well as the other interns have made many friends. In conclusion, they are shy to begin with but when you are able to break through the barrier gently you will have many friends.
