[quote=PETERSEAFORD,302755]this is a delicate subject i know but i have found that when had the pleasure of being in China that i was told that many visitors promise to contact when they get home but never do. well i was certain that i would not be one of those persons so when i got home i sent emails to all i had promised and so far only received replies from two out of forty seven contacts. the two that replied must have left Xian and gone to help the earthquake victims as they have not replied since then. i thought there may be some shut down of the internet before the games but it may just be that it is to much of a problem to reply. i will be returning to China next year but will not be so quick to promise to make contact but just enjoy the company then and there. i am mindful that communications for many persons is expensive but do Chinese people usually prefer their own company ?? if so i am very suprised because they made me feel "just like one of the family" so i thought that they enjoyed my company as much as i enjoyed theirs. here in Australia we usually only express enjoyment of anothers company if it is true - if we do not immedetly "like" somebody they can tell straight away. that is not to say that we are not polite but there is a difference between making someone feel "at home" or just tolerated. would appreciate the observations of a Chinese reader if possible - i am aware that some nations are peopled by souls whom are suspicious by nature and one would take some time to make "friends" but i did not feel this in China - i spent a month - visited many cities and places - speak no Chinese at all - used my little book of Mandarin - enjoyed every second of my time there and really felt "at home" and this was because the people were so much like Australians or so i felt and believe.
