when it's all about the journey

There is a China’s stamp in my passport. And that’s my first stamp that decorated my passport. At that time, I was applying at a social project in China with a biggest goal to improve myself by getting in touch with global world and people in it. Sounds cliché, but there are always a people like me who needs to jump out from their comfort zone to getting know their own character and be able to see the world from a different perspective.
If I write down all the new experiences that I got from China, I may publish a book about it. There are lots of people that connected to me while in China. The Chinese were so nice and kind. And I mean it. I just got some problems in communicating because I came to China without any knowledge of their language.
One thing that I really miss from China is their foods. Take a look around your place, what is the common traditional food around the world? Yeah, you know it! I always in love with my traditional tasty Indonesian food, but Chinese food is different, you’ll have a special place for Chinese food in your tummy. I walked a lot, traveled from Shanghai to Beijing, but eat more, and I gained 4 kgs in 4 weeks. No one’s going to regret it.
I am not a perfect chopsticks user, but I like to using chopsticks as much as I can do and trying to using chopsticks at any foods that related to chopstick, like noodles and special rice from China or Japan. So, when I arrived in China and there were chopsticks in my plate at my very first meal in China, I am so excited to eat. Can you believe? I was so enjoying my first lunch in China, which is a set meal of a bowl of rice, a bowl of sliced meats with a juicy sauce flavor, an one-person plate of baby kailan (seriously, I don’t know this vegetable name in English) with a different taste from the meats, but somehow it matched well, there’s some ingredients that I tasted overall, a bold taste, onion, pepper, and lots of another ingredients that I’ve never tasted before, even in Chinese food in my country.
Chinese is a hard worker. They really work at a hard level to reach something that they want to. One day I asked my Chinese friend named Tingting Xue, about why Chinese works so hard. And she answered me that every single of Chinese just trying their best to be the greatest on their job even a cooky, by that way they will feel that they are exists in this world. Maybe that’s why Chinese food is so delicious. They translating their will into a food.
