[quote=LEONARDO,252203]Hi Canadaguy, Before answering your question, I suggest you answer your question first:" why did you join this site?" I know you have mentioned "It's much more obvious as to why the expats and foreigners visit this site and post to the forums." I am still wondering what the specified reasons are. Asking for some information on China? Learn about Chinese culture? Exchaging ideas with Chinese nationals? The answers for this question are quite obvious but varied. Well, we also share some common reasons with you expats. Exchanging thoughts with people having different ways of thinking. For some people here, it is a good way to practice their English. As for me, I am curious about how people lived in the other side of this planet think and behave. Personally, I think it is very interesting to understand different cultures. Globalization has shortened the distance between us and brought us closer to each other. Half a century ago, before the invention of Internet, the backward communication isolated us from each other. We couldn't know how people from the other side of this planet think and behave. We had a mysterious feeling towards the rest of the world. Today, the extensive application of Internet renders us the opportunity to interact with the rest of the world. This forum provides a platform for us to exchange thoughts. Here in this forum, I eyewitnessed that we shared both common grounds and disagreements. We are different in ways of thinking. On some issues. we are so divided. Anyway, it is the diferences between us that created interests to understand different cultures. I still remember one friend named Dodger in this forum said:" we are trading ideas here"!
