I got a shock when I landed in Guangzhou (China). So here I am coming from the IT capital of India and (asia?) I thought that it would be rather lame and the reception would be cold and everybody was out to look down on me because I didn't know mandarin. I found exactly the opposite. Of course, if you come from Bangalore, your culture shock would be around 60% in terms of technology and meeting foreign people. If you're from any smaller town from India I'd say your culture shock would be 100%.
Another thing I noticed out here was the people are STYLISH. Yes and the number of girls around compared to guys is like 10:8 I feel. And almost all of them very stylish and not afraid to show skin. lol. why I am feeling so is because in India, the culture is so different. Even for Indian Chinese people it will be a shock especially for older Indian Chinese folks. (especially my mum and dad. ^_^) As for Indians are concerned, they will definitely feel the difficulty to communicate because of the language difference even though english speaking/communicating folks are there but still less in comparison to India. Another difference is the food. I despite being an Indian Chinese still felt the difference. more on that later.... need to go eat now. haha. right now in Shenzen.
