BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Holding admission letters from several graduate schools in Europe, Theo, a young man from Ghana, western Africa, considered carefully before deciding to accept a scholarship in China.
"China is so different from other countries around the world Cheap Nike Air Max 360 ," the slim, poised young man told Xinhua of his decision. "Because its fast development is so recent, it would be a great opportunity to observe and study the process in real time."
Theo's connection with China mirrors tens of thousands of others from Africa that have chosen to explore the world's biggest developing country and an old friend to the continent.
DISCOVER REAL CHINA
"Everyone knows about the China phenomenon. You hear about it all the time. But few know what the country is really like," said Theo, who has been studying international journalism and communication for three years at a specialized university in Beijing.
During the stay, he has discovered quite a few similarities between his homeland and China Cheap Nike Air Max 97 , both undergoing vast changes amid fast development.
"For example, the transport systems in major cities have been designed in similar fashion to accommodate the outward moving residential area. And there are heated debates on health care systems in both Ghana and China," Theo said. "It is exciting for me to look for what we can learn from here."
The former media and communication researcher with five years' working experience in Ghana, confessed he had little knowledge of China before coming here. Most of it came through western literature and kung fu movies.
"The only scenes I had seen about China back home were from the kung fu movies. I have watched a lot of Jet Li movies," Theo effortlessly named a few works of the famous Chinese star.
"But the movies only show China in the 80s. I remember the small alleys called hutongs and old temples. Some even date back to the 40s and 50s. Nothing like China nowadays," he said.
DIFFICULTY AND HOSPITALITY
Recalling his first encounter with the Asian country Cheap Nike Air Max 96 , Theo said he did not realize he was underprepared until he arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport and tried to take a taxi: the driver could neither understand nor speak a word of English. The same thing happened when he finally reached the dormitory, where the staff could not speak English either.
"The good thing about China is that people here would go out of their way to help you," said Theo, explaining how every time he encountered difficulties, strangers came up and offered a helping hand. With both the taxi driver and the dormitory staff, communication problems were solved by warmhearted strangers.
The graduate student said he also experienced Chinese hospitality in different ways. He recalled spending his first Spring Festival Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Womens , also known as China's lunar new year, at a Chinese home in Linyi city in eastern Shandong province, at the invitation of his classmate.
During the most important festival in China, they ate dumplings, set off firecrackers and stayed up late talking and watching the CCTV gala in an apartment overlooking two beautiful rivers.
"The hosts have three generations living under the same roof," Theo said. "For me Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Mens , it was like an adventure. What I had not seen from TV, the family traditions and the atmosphere, I got to experience it in real life."
PREPARE FOR CULTURAL SHOCK
Spending most of his time working on projects with foreign and Chinese classmates, Theo sometimes traveled to cities around the northern part of China, and occasionally took on part-time jobs teaching English.
As people-to-people exchanges continue to expand between China and Africa, the young China hand offered some tips for African students who are considering traveling to the Asian country for higher education.
"Psychologically Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Green , you need to be prepared for the cultural shock. There are many interesting contradictions in China," Theo said with a chuckle, and advised the students to fully explore the Internet resources written by international students on China.
"For example, do not be surprised and confused when you have a problem and your Chinese friend seriously tells you to 'drink more water,'" said Theo, talking about the advice often given to someone who does not feel well Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Red , due to a common belief among Chinese that water helps purify and detoxify the human body.
"We always joke about that. When someone's computer broke down, we would tell him to 'drink more water,'" Theo said. "It is the Chinese way of showing care for you."
OPEN TO POSSIBILITY
With the number of African students in China reaching 33,000 last year, Theo said he expected more younger generations to come.
"You will meet a country with lots of history. At the same time, there is a good mixture of traditions and modern things Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme Obsidian ," Theo said. "You can find night clubs and thousand-year-old temples side by side and people live different ways of life."
"Whether you enjoy your time in China is up to you," he added.
When asked about why he had not traveled to southern cities in China, Theo smiled and said he was planning to do his PhD somewhere south.
"There is no rush. I will have plenty of time and opportunity to explore the southern part of China, which is said to be quite different from the north. And after that, I may find a job there and start a family," Theo said Cheap Nike Air Max 98 Supreme White , adding he is open to all the possibilities that China has to offer.
Empty seats were clearly on show at England vs Italy, Switzerland vs Ecuador was a little over half full and Holland vs Spain was not the 100 percent attendance you might expect.
The difficulty in getting to the Amazon accounts for the England game, but that doesn't explain what's going on elsewhere, especially as it was widely reported that the majority of tickets for the finals had been sold.
