Just sounding and/vox pop.
I have been in China for nearly 3 years teaching at a private University. Apart from the usual daily activities I have never 'travelled' in China other than a visit to two local cities two years ago.
I just don't get it here. When people talk about visiting Bejing or Shanghai it leaves me disinterested and unmotivated to visit there. I constantly rack my brains about exploring certain aspects of Chinese culture and nothing comes up on the radar. For example, people keep telling me to visit the Great Wall, however a shrug of my shoulders usually registers my indifference.
(Don't get me wrong I have internalised all the common complaints about China and I barely notice them any more. In other words I can do China on a day to day basis.)
Should I regret this perspective on China in later years or is indifference quite common amongst expats?
Re: Just don't get China
You can't really judge things by word of mouth until you actually experience it yourself first. You should go take a look at the Great wall and visit places like Beijing and Shanghai and then have an opinion based on that.
