have you adapted to the lifestyle in China?
yeah, almost. But there is one thing.
what?
I still wonder what privacy meant for Chinese people. I don't mean to say that there's no privacy in China, but. . .
what is it?
some of my Chinese colleagues just share their personal stories in front of others.
that makes you feel uncomfortable?
yeah. we never do that in a public office.
perhaps that's because we hold different ideas about privacy.
i have felt that. One day when i was in a queue, reading a newspaper story, the man behind me peered through my shoulder and stared at the newspaper I was holding.
well, that's not rare. I've seen people reading at others' newspaper while takng a metro or a bus.
just stare at the newspaper holding in the hands of the one next to him?
yeah.
Oh, I'm shocked.
