Arriving in Xi’an, we were hoping the what we thought of the Chinese was really just the Chinese of Beijing, and that outside it we will find the people we were expecting. A nation that is spiritual, respectful of its elder and of one another.
Unfortunately we didn’t find them in Xi’an. Instead we found the same sort of people that were in Beijing. Rude, pushy, egoistic. It really is a shame. Paula and I were really looking forward to our meeting with the Chinese nation. We were disappointed we did not have the time to go to rural China. Now, we are looking forward to leave the Chinese behind us. I am sure there are very nice Chinese people (our hostel staff is a good example), but for the most, they are just very rude people.
I get more and more the feeling that the greatness that came out of China is more the exception then the rule. I wonder how Hong Kong will be like.
