My new boss Charles is coming from London, he worked around the world - Germany, Thailand, UK and etc. It is very enjoyable to talk about people with him. Both of us are new to Beijing, having a pair of fresh eyes to see the new Beijing city. Last week we went out for dinner. Here are highlight of our observation.
LAers -superifical & realistic. Being at Hollywood, everyone wants to be a star. People goes to club for making connection. If you are "in" the industry, people will run all around you. If not, people will not even talk with you.
Thai - Beauty-phobic. Either women and men (or ladyboy), Thai care so much about their looks. Thai women will not leave their house until their full make-up is on. Brave to be beautiful.
Shanghaiese - live for fame & money. Shanghaiese always wears the best wardrobe, no matter they have nothing at home.
Beijingers - Friendly & "worldly". Being the capital of china, beijingers like talking about big issues about the world. You can hear about politics, world issues and religion matters during meals. They shows me what nation of hospitality mean.
I love Beijing.
