Dozens of people from the country side moves into bigger cities like Beijing in hope of a better life. They walk around inside subways, in the street and other unexpected places and sell stuff. Normally it's newspapers or some car appliances like this guy here on the picture. Salary for people on the country side is under 1 euro a day. By selling things on the street in bigger cities they can probably make 10 euros a day. I keep wondering where they all live?
Now 5 reasons why you shouldn't start studying Chinese:
1. They have 4 tones in the language, saying a word can mean 4 different things
2. The characters! They look really damn cool but damn it takes so long to remember them 哎呀，汉字有太多！
3. Some words are spoken the same way but they sometimes means different thing without any further logic
4. Grammar is messed up or at least totally different from english, finnish or swedish....
5. In general chinese people speak very fast and it's hard to understand anything in the first months. And when Beijingnese people speak 北京话 (beijing local dialect) it doesent really make it easier to understand....nöööööup
But if your in for a challenge,chinese is the perfect choice!
