Brazilian universities in China: the center of Nanjing Aerospace


Gate entrance of the University of Nanking , by ashengrove
I have had the chance to go to teach Italian language to ' Aerospace University Nanjing , replacing a teacher who had a problem with the visa in Hong Kong. For three days I'm back in university, and I could see how it works.

Meanwhile, here are the American campus, or across the university are concentrated in one large area, equipped with dormitories, hotels for any relatives, canteen, gymnasium, piscina, discoteca e quant'altro. Tutte le università hanno anche un fiume che le attraversa, e non di rado c'è gente a pescare o coppiette a tubare lungo gli argini.
Il corso di italiano che ho presieduto era uno di quelli intensivi, 5 ore al giorno, 3 la mattina e 2 il pomeriggio, con una pausa di 2 ore per il pranzo. Per venire in Italia tutti gli studenti cinesi devono conseguire un certo livello di lingua, per poi proseguire con la lingua 6 mesi in Italia, di solito Perugia o Venezia, e poi sparpagliarsi fra le varie università, in genere Milano, Torino, Firenze, Roma.

La timidezza dei cinesi fa sì che abbiano difficoltà a parlare, e la complessità della lingua italiana non li aiuta. In genere i cinesi studiano molto, a parte quelli di Shanghai , metropoli, città troppo occidentale e dai troppi svaghi. Infatti dopo già due mesi di corso, si districa abbastanza bene nella grammatica e nei verbi (regolari) e qualcuno tenta anche congiuntivo e condizionale; il problema è però il vocabolario (la ricchezza linguistica) e la pronuncia. Ho preferito quindi adottare un metodo interattivo, per farli parlare, unendo i banchi, dialogando, ascoltando musica, lavorando sulla ricetta del tiramisù; e abituandoli a pensare che "andare" si può dire anche "dirigersi", e che come aggettivo in Italia non c'è solo "bello". Certo, so che per loro non è easy. Apart from the time I did not, but basically what I've learned Chinese in a month in China? Almost nothing.

There is a respect for the acclaimed professor, all classrooms have computer and projector, and the secretaries are extremely available for photocopying. After the lessons, which can last until 9 pm, a lot of people go to play basketball (sport preferred by boys), or running, or playing badminton and tennis. An average meal at the table, say, rice, vegetables, tofu or meat costs 70 cents. The attention of students in class in general is high, because the language courses generally have no more than 20 students (my 16).
The class is always la stessa, e un capoclasse designato ha la chiave. Nessuno la pulisce, per questo in fondo all'aula ci sono mucchi e mucchi di spazzatura, tovaglioli, bottigliette, perché gli studenti non hanno voglia di buttarle e le spingono con la scopa in fondo... In classe c'è anche un distributore di acqua gratis. Devo dire che è un veramente stimolante ambiente stimolante. I viali e gli alberi dell'università, nonché i parchi, conciliano il sonno degli studenti durante la pausa pranzo.

Anche se quegli stessi parchi la mattina alle 8.30, mezz'ora prima delle lezioni - come il più famoso degli speaker's corner inglese - sono gremiti di studenti che ripassano le lezioni, monologando in inglese, discutendo di mathematics, Chinese, physics. E 'was great to see them, each immersed in his book, he read aloud heedless of the passers-by.

Playgrounds, tips and Chinese

Amusement Park Shanghai China by pnoeric
In August, despite being under 2 million admissions because of Olympics, because of constraints in granting of visas by the Chinese government have counted 500 thousand people. To the authorities' local ', however, been a sounding incredible, so much so' that are transmitted over the bus still rolling the images of that event. In fact, attachment to external manifestations of magnitude (as the starting of the Olympics) and 'apparent elsewhere, for example in the playground. All of which are crazy, from 0 to 30 years. The difference with a Disneyland (only in Hong Kong) or a Ben and 'but' and that 'all patently false, as we tend to build characters and scenes as much as' close as possible to the truth.
And I also discovered that not only leave the tips here and 'rude, but forbidden: I tried to park and that some taxi and restaurant. Then I discovered that the employees and 'a kind of betrayal of his own company (and country), since' the company might think that you're trying to do business behind him. I anche provato a farmi spiegare il perche' in cinese, ma non ci ho cavato un ragno da un buco, vuoi perche' in ogni citta' parlano un dialetto diverso dal cinese mandarino, vuoi perche' non conosco a sufficienza la lingua. In effetti il cinese mandarino (putonghua) e' fondamentalmente bisillabico, ma ci sono dei fattori culturali che tendono a conservare l'uso del sistema di scrittura ideogrammatico. La scrittura, con tutta la difficolta' data dal lungo percorso necessario per arrivare a dominarla, possiede una grande autorevolezza: per secoli, se non per millenni, il potere e' stato associato in Cina con la capacita' di leggere e scrivere, in quanto la cultura era un requisito necessario per accedere alle cariche governative. Tale scrittura ha avuto an appeal so powerful as to be adopted in countries culturally and linguistically very different, such as Korea, Japan, Vietnam.

24H shops & fast food

Shanghai Jingan area, by ZeHawk
Yesterday I moved house, I have not moved too far from where I lived, always Jingan area , 30-40 minute walk from where I work. Home Office, silent, along with a Chinese and a German boy who does the training German Chamber of Commerce. Today I went to check-in hospital, all in the past, they gave me the usual pomatine and some pills.

Someone coming in China, will be stunned by most supermarkets or some shop remains open 24-24h . Often the Mc Donald's. The fact here is that operators want to provide excellent service to customers. In addition, the Chinese are so many great and go consumption, so to 2-3-4 at night there's always someone, or that it is a shop of clothing, a small supermarket, large supermarket chain, Lianhua and economic, or Mc. Donald's. Comuque that will have its good economic return to the end.
Another example. At lunch there are some Chinese fast food, that is a cross between a restaurant and our tray tables, where you choose the food you prefer, you served, you eat in a hurry and you go back to work. E 'frequented by many young people, also because it's cheap. With € 1.5 I have taken a soup, a bowl of rice, chicken, fish, tofu, egg and peppers. The soup and rice were free, included in the price of other foods, typically 50-60 euro cents per serving.

Chinese military exercises in China and Hospitals

by Chinese soldiers cornfed1975
Two Sundays ago long long sirens sounded at intervals throughout the morning. Exercises were military aircraft, in prevention of natural and / or disasters such as earthquakes. And staying in the military for my umpteenth trip to Nanjing , the pay of my friends, and after being on behalf consulate as the opening of several shops in Shanghai, including that of Aurora pens (usually buffet gifts), I can talk about the University of Nanking. Infiltratomi as "professor of Italian, with the support of my friends in the dorm and women (in general, however, call the police if a person of any rank enters the women's dorm), even further to avoid paying a hotel, I was able to assist to the one here is normal. Ie the military exercises for all students 19 years old, which last from 1 week to 1 month according to the University (Nanjing to 2 weeks): green uniform for boys and blue for girls, with a lot of orders, military steps, songs, obligation to carry the flag. All day, from dawn to dusk, with 4 hours of rest. E 'obligation to do so it is said, not now accustomed to lax university.
The dorm rooms are usually small, but well taken: they contain four beds per room with a bunk bed above the desk below. In each apartment there are usually three rooms. What I want to leave the bathrooms are really dirty, and with it Turkey.
Since the entry is prohibited to the males, the couples usually have just two ways used to make love, or take a hotel room, even a Single beds (19 €) per night, where they can enter without documents up to 4 people, or call a taxi for a ride to the pay gap and tell him to lower the rearview mirror ... (Really sleazy)

Son had to come back in a hurry with the slow train from Nanjing (who hate the Chinese, about 3 ½ hours), especially considering that this week, that at the turn of October 1 (National Day the founding of the People's Republic of China ), is overcrowded because all students and all off-site workers must return from their families, not to mention the millions of people who take advantage of these holidays to go on vacation.
I said, I'm back in a hurry for the appearance of strange bubbles on the body ("xiao dou dou" in Chinese), then scopertesi chickenpox, a fairly mild form. We'll see. This allowed me to examine a very important speech, that hospital. It 's true or not true that hospitals are expensive in China? It 's true and not true. In the sense that if you break a finger and you have to do a slab, or for any other reason, the TAC, you pay in full (from 500 to 1000 €). But including complex are cheaper and system works. First, the Chinese system is efficient: the hospitals are thematic (eg I went to one specializing in "Dermatology and venereal diseases"), a package must be completed with a pseudo name (no matter how false, many people make false Privacy ), there is no difference between Chinese and foreign, the first time you go they give you a card that will be usable in all departments of all hospitals registered to the pseudo name.
Generally always superaffolatti Chinese hospital environment and open only from 9 to 17 or 18 (only first aid is always open), then in the morning is likely to find, and I am not exaggerating, even 500 people in line. Also because all Chinese people are hypochondriacs, afraid even of the smallest bubble on the face. Despite this, usually in the two hours you hurry. It took me 1 hour and I paid 28 € for a visit to specialist (2 €), blood tests (6 €) to buy medicines (20 € for 2 boxes of antiviral drugs and 2 of calamine lotion that will last me for all rescrudescenza the disease). And, apart from itching, I have been satisfied.

Efficiency of China's National Day, and business cards

Shanghai Bank (Norman Foster) by FHKE
This morning I had to go to pay the deposit for the rent to Chinese bank, banks who usually work from 9 to 17. Trovatomi front of the bank at 8:55 I found myself in front of a row of almost 30 people expectant opening of the bank, which took place promptly at 9. I thought, if we were in Italy, here we would have to wait at least 2 hours, since we are in China, where everything is (alas ?!!!) more efficient, it will take me half an hour. In reality, it took me 5 minutes ... In Italy over 10 branches is fat if they are open 2 or 3 in China, a small branch on the whole, there were 5 and all 5 are open, including the one with the "spekaing Inglese service" for foreigners, and guard prepared to help in the compilation of paper in China, where I did not understand where to enter the data! This is China! Despite the help, and not to lose "face" in front of the "other" people, will do anything.

I print my business cards with the seal of the Consulate, to be produced strictly at every public meeting. Exchanging business cards is essential and indispensable in every match. When two people (politicians, diplomats, business colleagues, present and future) are encountered, they can not exchange a note, strictly to be presented with two hands and bowed his head slightly in approval. Before handing it to be taken with both hands for a few seconds to give another way to read your status, after which it is immancambile xièxiè , thanksgiving. Do not forget that when a Chinese speaks English, but speaks like shit, you say, 'Your Inglese is very very good "as a sign of approval, it is the impairment of future relationships or not, partly because, basically, the Chinese also in meetings with foreigners only speak Chinese.

Exhibitions and Fairs in Shanghai Suzhou Nightlife

Pudong New Area, by galaygobi
The Pudong New Area is the area dedicated to Fairs in Shanghai. The International Tourism Exchange in Milan are or SMAU un baffo a quegli immensi padiglioni. Sono andato in rappresentanza col Consolato, grazie al vice-Console e ai colleghi dell'ICE alla Wires and Tubes Exhibition, la Fiera dedicata a macchinari, cavi e tubi (settore importantissimo in Cina) e successivamente alla IFAT, la Fiera delle energie rinnovabili. L'accoglienza è stata superba, cinese direi: giusti a destinazione con la macchina del Consolato, il pass diplomatico ci ha permesso di evitare le file e di ottenere la rosa rossa all'occhiello (per pochi) (i dirigenti cinesi avevano, invece, una orchidea viola all'occhiello) e la firma di proprio pugno sul libro rosso, quello degli ospiti.

La cosa che colpisce è che nella parte dei macchinari i compratori The Chinese were not so, but there were a lot of Indians. However this show was funded by the German fair, especially Dusserdolf and Monaco: why there were several booths Germans. But even the Italians were not wanting: that the machinery is an area where we are particularly capable, at times even for product quality. On this tour we had about a 50ntina stand, 30 grouped close together and they gave us a good picture.
rather less important in the field of renewable energies, with 7-8 companies and some of Naples (!!!), still must think its a waste). The bad thing was, however, see that while other countries proposed machinery, instrumentation, good ideas, we were the only things we had boxes and crushers, which has to do with very little money.
