Photo story: On The Other Side

It is not easy to live in a different country even though it's just only for two months. It was not my first time to go to other country to travel, but it was my first time to stay for a long time in another country. Everything for me was new because I had to adjust to the different life style that other county has.

Even though I just went to China, where everyone think is easy to live and adjust because we use the same language, the loneliness of staying in a different country was still killing me. In that two months, the most relaxing thing for me was sleeping because in my dream I can forget that I was in China. There are lots of things I wasn't used to it e.g., language, food, people, and traffic. Although we all speak Chinese which they called “putonghua”, but they use their first language, Cantonese,to communicate with other people more often. And that is was very hard for me because I did not understand any single word of Cantonese.
Besides the most common problems about living in the a different country are such as not getting used to their food or their people. For me the hardest thing about living to live in China is that you have to deal with the problem of out of water and have a blackout. Can you imagine that every twice a week you have to endure the water outage and blackout? And it was summer so the temperature in Guangzhou was up to 39℃. I almost thought I would die in China because the weather was too hot and I couldn't turn on the air conditioner or fan. The photo I posted was taken by a normal- out-of-water-and-have-a-blackout-day. Because I was afraid my roommate and I would die in the dormitory so we decided to go to a coffee shop to help us through this tough day. And in the evening we went to a park where I took this photo.

I still remember that day- it was the 43rd day I stayed in China. When I looked at the sunset I was wondering whether Taiwan on the parallelon the other side or not. I knew it is was stupid but I really thought maybe my friends and my family could see the same sunset although we were in different countries. The atmosphere of this photo made me feel homesick. Looking at the sunset just like looking at my hometown. It is was too far for me to chase.
