[quote=CHYNAGYRL,37133]I had a great time when I visited China in Winter 2005.  Previous to that I had lived in Korea for three years and it was like a breath of fresh air.  In that part of the world, people still see China in a very positive light, because of its cultural and economic dominance.  After I came back to Canada though, my attitude changed a lot.  I saw China in a much more negative light.  People here think China is an environmental disaster, and both Western and Taiwanese media report on all the more negative practices (related to food safety esp) that are not talked about within China so much.  I was very surprised to hear all kinds of things that I never heard about when I was living in that part of the world.  It goes to show that just because you live somewhere for a long time does not give you intimate knowledge of a country.  It depends also on the access to information.  Sometimes, due to pride we don't see our own country, culture as it is.  Even as a Canadian, I had to leave Canada before I could get a more objective view on my own culture.[/quote]
