和 Kiara 一起看网友发的"学中文或接触中国文化后,你遇到的最大文化冲击是什么"。外国人觉得最离谱的是:吃饭抢着买单,差点跟家里人扭打起来。还有人说中国面包难吃,Kiara 不同意,她觉得只是偏甜偏软。我们还聊到香港茶餐厅的三明治去边要加钱,而在澳洲很多小孩根本不吃面包边。另外几个话题:学会一套新文字的那种神奇感,澳洲人什么都要加番茄酱(还得叫 tomato sauce),以及让老外摸不着头脑的调休和黄金周。最后我们决定开一个新系列,在墨尔本吃遍中国各省的菜,从北京菜、湖南菜、云南菜吃到武汉菜!你的家乡有什么必吃的美食?评论区告诉我们,下期去找来试试!
Kiara and I go through a viral post: "What's your biggest culture shock after learning Chinese or getting to know Chinese culture?" The answers include family members nearly tackling each other over the bill, the claim that Chinese bread is "terrible" (Kiara disagrees, she thinks it's just sweet and soft), and Hong Kong cha chaan tengs that charge extra to cut the crusts off a sandwich. We also talk about how special it feels the first time you can read a brand-new writing system, Aussies putting tomato sauce on everything, and China's make-up workdays that turn a holiday into a "golden week". At the end we kick off a new idea: eating our way through Chinese provincial food in Melbourne, starting with Beijing, then Hunan, Yunnan and Wuhan. What's a must-try dish from your hometown? Tell us in the comments and we might try it next!
