After I got relocated and went to live with other 5 people, I really started to enjoy my life in Shanghai, I loved to go to school to meet new people and learn chinese everyday. Everybody was so kind and helpful, they made me feel like home.
After school I enjoyed to go for a little walk and buy some supplies in the little shops around the school , where you can find so many interesting and cute things and everything is so cheap, before going back to my apartment. In the stores the hospitality wasn't always very good but at the end I didn't need them to be polite with me I just needed to buy food and water for myself...

Here was my apartment and the school was only some steps away from it. It was really very practical.
My first friends where italians and swiss people then I meet also a girl from Vietnam and other many countries.
I enjoyed spent time with them and felt like they could understand all the difficulties of being in such a different country with such a different mentality, we shared so many good and bad moments we could probably write a book. Sometimes we made fun of the chinese, it wasn't for the bad, but just to make us feel a little bit more strong and powerful in this different ambience, that sometimes made us feel so little and unable to do anything if not with the help of a chinese friend or through other connections.
