Although there are some Chinese customs that I doubt if I can learn--I've found that I have loved China a lot since I moved here eight months ago.
Here are three ways I've become a little more Chinese.
1. I like drinking hot water.
I've found I really enjoy drinking hot water not only in the morning, but throughout the day. Although my American friends don’t agree with me, it's actually better than ice-cream that we usually drink in the States.
2. I've embraced the Taobao lifestyle.
I never did much online shopping when I was at home in America, and when I found out that most of my students make the majority of their purchases without leaving their dorm rooms. But then my students show me up with a Taobao.com account and I discovered I could buy almost anything on it.
3. I'm more open when meeting people.
Western culture dictates there are certain things you don't discuss when you first meet someone, and you definitely don't take selfies with them. When meeting someone new, I won’t tell him anything. In China, however, I usually don't have time to refuse before my new friend has already added me on WeChat, taken a picture or two, found out my age and my reasons for being in China, and invited me to lunch.
