Impression of Berlin

Berlin, the place always mentioned by my best friend who studying there before.

I have no idea of the place so it is more excited to travel there. Hope everything is smooth. And after this trip continually to have a study tour in Albisola near Savona.

Both of the flight and train is around 6am and I need to backpacks them in the same time. So excited by a bit nervous that I am afraid forgetting something.

I should not without slept for 2 nights.

Although I lost my wallet here in Milano but still finding very lucky experiences.

1, First of all, my mom was at home, pick up my phone call and cut the visa card for me within 20 mins.

2, My phone still there otherise, I cannot call long distance call immediately.

3, I record my important information in my handy notebook before I go aboard, so I have credit card no. and service hotline on my hand.

4, I just lost 1 ATM card, 1 Premisso Card that I hope I will not apply it again. Euro 20-80.

5, Lucky that one of my new friend said 24H on call to help me. And said buy me dinner.

6, The most lucky is I have a helpful Mom, I miss you so much.

Everything shall be fine, I guess.

The beauty of Gentle

Recently I touch up with some phD students from China, have a good impression to them.

Unlike BA students who sent out by their parents for they are not able to study well in China. These phD students are much more mature and gentle, their analysis issues quite deeply with independent thoughts. And I realized that even Master students, towards them still have quite a distance.

They cannot believe on the Italy system always quite messy and does not align to the world standard. But on the contrary, from different people saying, they also know about China issues, the issue they need to face or lacking of. They are really objective and some of them still thinking that the core European culture still valuable to be understand and study.

But since even from the US, UK or European culture in these 2 decades talking about Individuality which is really need to be rethink the real meaning of it. How ridiculous of the behaviour and thoughts influence and cheating people. When they thinking of be individuals but they even cannot be independent to live till late twenty ages and early thirty. How is the sickness of the society telling the youth?

Hope these phD students keep their positive core value, keep their humble attitudes. With gentle characters to treat others and also helping the country. I believe China really have a rich cultures, Art, traditional & innovations. It may need several decades to research, study, reorganize the materials and reminds the Cultures. It is able to be balance with the majority point of view which is now focusing on Commercial and money earning.

A real friend

A real friend always tell you the truth.

My friend sent me articles tonight that she was inspired and ask me to read them.

In fact, I believe in this sentence. And I learnt about the responsible for being a friend. If you find your friend is falling down because of something she or he doesn’t realised, you should tell them. That is what I think a real friend shall do.

When I was a child, of course at that time I was green but very brave. And tired telling the truth in wrong timing or in wrong places or in wrong wordings. And at last, I learn to become hold back and carefully to talk about sensitive topics if you got a bad response after telling the truth.

And also when the world telling people be yourself, break the rules. So you frustrated to tell the truth. Then it become, in my opinion, I will suggest…. as you know friend may not be in the same direction and angles with you. Then now few people in the world are insisting their point of view but try to respect others' point of views.

And then more and more complicated to tell the truth. And always only children are bravely tell you the truth.

Markets walk & talk

I like the Markets here a lot and they mainly selling very fresh fruits, food, flowers. It is very nature and peaceful, especially the markets are located near rows of tall trees or in parks. It cannot compare to the activities that buying items with bar codes in Supermarket.

It is also much more human. People make conversation and exchanging information but not only selling and purchasing. This morning has big flower market in the park of Porta Venzia. The types and species of flowers and plants are far better, they are so beautiful.

Unfortunately, too much talking during that period so do not have good photos related to flowers.

Friends are very important to me. Since I was a child, my parent are busy on working. And they immigrant to Hong Kong when I was 4 & 5. They did not know the system, language and custom of Hong Kong. And also we do not have relative in HK, I think it was a very tough time for them.

So they cannot lead me much in that situation. School interviews, choose of what I want to learn, even the secondary school & university, I was so luckily to pass all of them because I believe in people and friends. Because somehow there are people to help me, especially I always has a lot of friends.

I always think I has not boundary, to people & to the World. I believe in the world is unify. I have a beautiful picture in my mind. But I was so silly in a way. One of my friend recently told me that she observe for a period and choose friend. And I have remind myself many times, but I still according to my silly method, most of people I meet, I will find very interest to talk with. Everyone are in good mark, and then something happened, I struggled and suffered, and then the marks are reducing and it let me feel disappointed. Some of the case I get hurt.

I shall modify this built in silly system in my mind.

Now I cannot denial that culture barrier is such an issue. I always think that I am from a really modern, international, east meet west cultural background City to grow up. I am much open to accept people, thing, art, food, life, culture, manner & behaviour, but now I was confused about my own point of view and value into these topics.

May be I was too passionate and in the same time, I easy to feel disappointed. When I feel disappointed, I feel hurted if the matter is important to me. And I need a long time to be confidence on it.

The relationship among people is very fragile, only who really go via it become good friends. And in this kind of suffering time, you can really see who is your friends to standing with you and helping you.

Full School Schedule on May

It will be full schedule on May, almost everyday has lessons. I do not know how to manage the time and also with Italian Class for 3 nights per week.

I am the slowest student in class and some already quit and never come again. I know some students feel pressure from teacher than he said we do not review by ourselves. After this blaming, some of our classmates disappeared. After his blaming, I stop review, it is a kind of give up.

I really hope I will not be one of them but I really feel pressure if he when he asking questions. I know I really cannot catch the standard and feeling very bad about it.
