It is Chinese New Year's Eve.The streetsare lined withred lanterns， character posters， fireworks and offerings.People exchange greetings as they run intoeach other， “xin nian yu kuai,gong xi fa cai! ” I walk along the street to my house，exchanging greetings with neighbors and strangers，but mostlymet withsurprised stares.A foreigner!And one who speaks Chinese!

I am spending my year abroad in Nanjing，China.For China， the city is relatively small， especiallycompared toShanghai and Beijing with populations around 20 million.However，I am glad that I am hererather thanin a larger city.I wouldfeel lost ina city as large as Shanghai with its eleven subway lines.As Nanjing is the capital for six dynasties，it has as colorful culture as Beijing.

It is also less expensive to live here than in a larger city，but it offers the same amount of foreign food and pleasure that you would expect of a modern city.

If you are a newcomer here，there are also many ways to enjoy the culture and the language of China.Trying traditional Chinese Medicinal practices is a great way to open your mind and experience the culture of the country.Scraping（刮痧）， cupping（拔火罐），and acupuncture（針灸）can help cure diseases such as headaches and stomach issues，and traditional massages（按摩）are both inexpensive and incredibly（極好地） relaxing.

In addition，you should also try to make some Chinese friends.Language partners and classmates make great friends，and they willshow you aroundthe city and take you to places you would never have gone to otherwise.When you get to China you shouldsign upfor a WeChat account，the Chinese version of instant messaging.Everyone here has one.

Another way to experience Chinese culture is to be here for holidays，especially the New Year.Reading about the fifteen-day celebration is nothing like being in the middle of it，and the fireworks that go off，while making you feel like you're in a war zone， is also magical.The skies light up， children run around in the empty streets，and you get a sense of how community-oriented China continues to be in the midst of its modernization.

Stay open-minded and try new things and you are sure to come back to be a more enriched and interesting person than you were before if you have an opportunity to travel to Nanjing，China.

China welcomes you!

今天是中國(guó)的除夕。街道兩旁擺滿(mǎn)了紅燈籠、人物海報(bào)、煙花和新年禮物。人們?cè)谙嘤鰰r(shí)互相問(wèn)候，“新年愉快，恭喜發(fā)財(cái)!”我沿著街道走到我家，與鄰居和陌生人互相問(wèn)候，但大多都是驚訝的眼神。一個(gè)外國(guó)人！會(huì)說(shuō)中文的外國(guó)人。

我在中國(guó)南京度過(guò)我的一年。對(duì)中國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)，南京人口相對(duì)較少，特別是與人口在2，000萬(wàn)左右的上海和北京相比。就我個(gè)人而言，我很高興我是在這里，而不是在一個(gè)更大的城市。在一個(gè)有11條地鐵線(xiàn)路的上海這樣的大城市里，我會(huì)感到迷茫。因?yàn)槟暇┦橇墓哦迹运兄捅本┮粯迂S富多彩的文化。

住在這里也比住在更大的城市里更便宜，你期待從大城市體驗(yàn)的食物和樂(lè)趣，在南京也可以體驗(yàn)到。

如果初來(lái)乍到，你也有許多方式來(lái)欣賞中國(guó)的文化和語(yǔ)言。嘗試中藥療法是打開(kāi)心靈和體驗(yàn)國(guó)家文化的好方法。刮痧、拔火罐和針灸可以幫助治療頭痛和胃病等疾病，而傳統(tǒng)按摩既便宜又能使人極大地放松。

另外，你也應(yīng)該試著結(jié)交一些中國(guó)朋友。語(yǔ)言伙伴和同學(xué)會(huì)成為你要好朋友，他們會(huì)帶你參觀(guān)這個(gè)城市，帶你去那些你從來(lái)沒(méi)有去過(guò)的地方。當(dāng)你來(lái)到中國(guó)時(shí)，你應(yīng)該注冊(cè)一個(gè)微信賬號(hào)，這是即時(shí)通訊的中文版本。這里每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)。

體驗(yàn)中國(guó)文化的另一種方式是在這里度假，特別是新年。觀(guān)賞15天的慶?；顒?dòng)與參與其中根本不是一回事，而燃放的爆竹會(huì)讓你覺(jué)得自己身處戰(zhàn)區(qū)，感到別樣的神奇。當(dāng)天空亮了起來(lái)，當(dāng)孩子們?cè)诳帐幨幍慕值郎吓軄?lái)跑去，你可以感受到，以社區(qū)為導(dǎo)向的中國(guó)是如何繼續(xù)處于現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程中的。

保持開(kāi)放的心態(tài)，嘗試新的事物，如果你有機(jī)會(huì)去中國(guó)南京旅游，你一定會(huì)比以前更加充實(shí)和有趣。

中國(guó)歡迎你！
