Chinese people, from what I've gathered, are very open and blunt about outer appearance. It makes making new friends really easy!īut one thing I wasn't quite ready for was the amount of compliments I would receive on a daily basis from people, many of which are total strangers to me. This is the case for almost any foreigner in our city, male or female, young or old! As foreigner in a very Chinese city, we are constantly hearing people yell or whisper, "Foreigner!" out of curious excitement. They're beautiful! I'm constantly staring at them, amazed at how every single person is either beautiful or so adorable that I want to wrap them in a hug! Where we live-in a smaller city not on the East coast, there is even less variety in features because there is not as much diversity in the foreign presence here.Īs you could envision, I-a taller, white, light-haired, light-eyed, young American woman-stand out like a sore thumb. Black hair, dark oval eyes, slender bodies, pale skin, etc. So, as most of you could guess, the majority of Chinese people have very similar features.
But I figure it's a big part of living in China and you guys might be interested to hear about it, so why not? I trust that you guys know my heart and know that I'm just sharing my experience. I've been wanting to share a certain aspect about living in China as a young American woman for a while, but have been scared to come across as the most vain person in the world.
