Chinanews, Shanghai, July 11 – Several young Chinese Americans came to stay with Shanghainese for 24 hours, to experience the Shanghai lifestyle.

 

These young people came to Shanghai to take part in the Forum1 of Outstanding Youths from China and the US.

 

The forum arranged a tour for them to stay in the Caoyang Residential2 Community for one day. They spent that day just like any Shanghainese did.

 

They went to the market to buy food, and they were rather surprised to see so many “strange” food, particularly local snacks. Some of them were very interested in crayfish, as back in US, people like lobsters3 better. Tang Haixi, a girl, was even brave enough to catch a live crayfish with bare hands.

 

The youths spoke4 very highly of the poultry5 section in the market, for it shows China’s effort in battling bird flu.

 

After having dinner, which was made by themselves, with the help of local youths of course, they came to enjoy traditional Chinese games, like trundling hoops6, playing diabolos, and yoyos.

 

However, one day was still too short for them to experience China. Before leaving for home, the young Chinese Americans said they would surely come back, if they had the chance.
