Chinese people

In Barcelona there are thousands of Chinese people living. They have opened many different businesses: they started with the Chinese restaurants and the ‘bazars’, and now they started others liked vegetables shops, beauty centers and they have also bought many typical Spanish bars.

Chinese people work a lot. I have to admit. Instead, they don’t really spend money. Chinese people are very special. They are especially nice with customers, most of them don’t speak Spanish or Catalan and you hardly see them laugh. They also speak very loud as they were always shouting. I respect them a lot, but they are people hard to have a normal relationship.

However, near my house, I have met this Chinese woman who is really nice. She always says hello when you get in, she laughs a lot and she always asks you how you are. Nothing to do with most of her compatriots. Last time I went, she asked me how the Christmas holidays went even though she doesn’t celebrate them.

As I said, I respect the Chinese because they work a lot and they have a good view for business but I think they could be nicer. All of the Chinese could take example of this woman, who is always in a good humor and she is so pleasant. Only for that reason every time I have to look for something, I go to this shop.

I know it is difficult because it is their culture and it is not easy to change, but I am confident that the new generation of Chinese will be more similar to Spanish people.
