Different look in America---Ji Ou

            Different Look in America
  Before I went to America, I read a series books named close look at United States. Through these books , I knew some law system, history, culutral in America, I think America is a such powerful country. What is more, I staied with a America girl who lived in Ohio and study in Miami University in Beijing for several days. We talked about many things, She told me that America is not interesting as we thought, many place is quiet and bored. When I arrived at America, I thought many things are different from what I read in books.
 When I arrived at airport, I did not nervouse. People were so polite, and willing to help our. And people get used to say " excues me, sorry" no matter who is wrong. My host family picked us up, and told us we can stay at their house as long as we like and do anything we like. I thought America people would like to make contract to let me know which things we can not do.  Even though, America is famous for fast food, I thought people would have long time dinner at home everyday. However, My host family just spend little time on cooking food,  and meal make me think fast food. In china, people would prepare for food over 1 hours for dinner, most of America people just do this in holiday. American family like to storage food.House full of stuff. Moreover, it is hard for me to find small package food in supermarket, most of food is large size.
  The other thing impress me is that even old people also similar use high technology. I saw many old people is good at using computer and phone.  Old people in American like to watch basketball game, they talked about the game and make a joke. They are easy to accept new thought. That is so different from China. Some old people in China do not know how to open the computer, do not know the rules in game.The old man in the photo is my host family who is same age as my grandmother, but he good at using computer, phones and video. My grandmother is not able to use TV well.
  When I was in China, I heard that public transport in America is so bad. Now, I miss my hometown Transportation. I did not wait bus for long time. I can go anywhere in my hometown by bus. But now, I feel so terrible about public transportation in America, eventhough I need to make a call to order a taxi when I need a taxi.
  In China, if we do not have class, we would stay at dormitory or hang out with friends.  American students seems not like stay at dormitory, they like to do some execrise at outside. My roommates can play soccer ball, base ball and so on. They go to gem everynight.
  Although, things in America is strange for me, I keep learning and involve in American life.
