No No & Yes

No No & Yes

No”, “No” and a “YES” 

Sometimes you don’t get a “Yes” if you don’t keep asking. Besides getting something to eat, the other reason I go the canteen is to make new friends. I am alone in China and if I did not have managed a way to make friends I would be long gone from China, but fortunately I not only figure it out how to make good friends, but also find out that Chinese people are wonderful, once you made the first move and break the ice, they are very very friendly, generous, the invitations start to come in, and pretty son I have to say “no” sometimes simply because I cannot attend everything I was invited to participate. No wonder I am still in China after 6 years. I am not saying I will stay here forever, but when the time comes to renew the contract is always a easy decision – that is because here I have been felling very welcome, but remember, for the most part you have to be the one who take chances first in trying to make a friend.
