Is there anything that you hadn't noticed before, but now you realized something different? Is there one or two things that you have noticed about yourself since living here? What are they and was it a good thing or bad thing that you discovered?
I actually like things to be organised. Never felt that way at home.
I am slimmer, and have recovered my sense of humor. My blood pressure has gone down as have my sugar levels. I have more energy, less stress and no reflux or heartburn.
I dont feel stuck in a rut.
Thanks for the question!
Oddly, I get cravings for tofu. I guarantee you that never happened in Australia.
GuilinRaf:
Me too!
I guess that in the West we just shred the white tofu without cooking it. No WONDER westerners do not like it! Here, I eat it almost daily and in so many ways!!!
Lost over 20 kilos, mainly cause of stress and depression from swing certain things. Best diet I ever been on, send the fattys here!
I would have to agree with GuilinRaf
Stress goes down stomach settles and I relax more.with more energy
as soon as I get off the plane back home it all starts up again
also I find we go out more in the evenings just for walks or to look in the shops
at home after work we usually stay at home till we go to work the next day.
Everyone tells me that little Ted, my one eyed cheeky monkey, got bigger. Maybe I've been feeding him too much lately..
im a chinese whom living cheng du ,much pressure here in china.
Don't ask me to explain it, but my arms have been growing at about the rate of 2 millimeters a week. I noticed my arms were lookin disproportionately long a few months ago -a problem I never had in the west - and I've been taking measurements every week or so.

My dad sometimes jokes that guys having their pants hang so low back home will cause the guys to grow longer arms. It's evolution!
1. my english skills got simplified... so that chinese could understand me..
2. Started to look at life in a broader perspective... started to slowly understand chinese tactics... initial years was feeling .. w.t.f... but later slowly understood that chinese are not exactly following principles of the outside world.. but if you erase basics which you were thinking are right (its due to society we are raised.. may not be exactly correct/true) and take a fresh look... start to realise that their ideas are now fully wrong.. some are better than how the rest of the world does... even the way the govt is set up.. even banning facebook!!!
3. My EQ is much better now...
i got good body shape here ,no stress, long sleeps, and fresh all the time ,most important my thinking and ideas are changed and this change is good i like it
I like sex more then before. this is because of China.
