　　Walking around the corner and into the hall at three in the morning, lost in thought and dragging a mop bucket, I raised my eyes to the front counter in indifference．A man, looking to be in his mid 40's, stood in a pink dress．A wide-edged hat stuck out over his massive frame resembling an umbrella that was a little too shabby and worn-out, making him look like a woman．The shock at seeing such a strong proud man in a cheap disgusting dress broke my heart, as well as frightened me．

　　Dropping my mop on the floor in surprise and picking up my face that had temporarily fallen off, I confidently walked over to the desk．

　　“I'm sorry,”I began to say but was confused on whether sir or madam was appropriate．“Can I help you?”

　　“I need a room,”he said in a gruff(粗哑的)powerful voice．

　　“Sure thing,”I said bringing up the registry．“Can I get your last name?”

　　“Hurgan,”he said briefly．

　　“And your first name?”

　　“Amanda．”

　　Suddenly I had to direct all of my concentration on holding back a smile．A ten second pause of silence passed while I tried to stay calm．

　　“Okay,”I said getting back to the job,“can I get your phone number, Amanda?”

　　All of the information was acquired and stored and Amanda received her room key for the night．All was well as I returned to the neglected mop bucket．Suddenly a low throaty cough drew me out of my temporary mental disorder．Looking over at the desk where Amanda stood touching her thick biceps(二头肌)I once again dropped the mop in shock．

　　“I'm sorry about that,”I said coming around to the desk．Amanda stared with unease twisting her sleeve with her right index finger．

　　“I have a cat,”she said in a low voice．

　　“I'm sorry you what?”I asked leaning in closer．She drew back a bit as if I was some kind of threat．

　　“I have a cat．”

　　Looking up into her tall frame, I replied,“That's fine．We just need to add an extra ＄10 fee．”She handed me her credit card once again．I swiped it, returned it, and grabbed the printing receipt．

　　“You just need to sign here,”I said handing over the pen．She hesitantly grabbed it from my hand and signed．As she began to return it, my hand came a bit too close to connecting with hers．Scared and possibly a little disgusted she dropped the pen, causing it to bounce off the counter and onto the floor．

　　“Sorry,”she said, looking down．“I have to go get my cat．”

　　While Amanda was getting her cat, an unpleasant thought was circling around my head．Here I was just doing my job and this, this WO-MAN was acting as if I was the monster!He was wearing a pink dress!And I was the monster?Was he even still a man?The sliding doors opened and in came Amanda passing the front desk without even giving me a polite nod．

Walking around the corner and into the hall at three in the morning, lost in thought and dragging a mop bucket, I raised my eyes to the front counter in indifference. A man, looking to be in his mid 40’s, stood in a pink dress. A wide-edged hat stuck out over his massive frame resembling an umbrella that was a little too shabby and worn-out, making him look like a woman. The shock at seeing such a strong proud man in a cheap disgusting dress broke my heart, as well as frightened me.

“Hurgan,” he said briefly.

“And your first name?”

“Amanda.”

As a foreigner , I often hear the Chinese calling me laowai ” . If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs , I might be angry when I am called a “ laowai ” . But having lived in the Philippines and China’s Taiwan Province teaching English for several years , I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here . In such situations , I just answer back in standard Chinese : “ Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren ?( How do you know I’m a foreigner ? )” When I hear people shout out “ hello ” in a more impolite way and then laugh , I reply in Chinese with “ Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao .(Your English is better than mine .)”
Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China . As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan , I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family . Because I can speak Chinese quite freely , I was able to talk with my student’s entire family . From my personal experience , I knew that the Chinese have a “ gift ”for making foreigners in China feel right at home . That fun-filled weekend I spent with my student’s family in Caidian , a small suburb of Wuhan , just showed that my idea was right .
It was an experience I will never forget .
Americans have a saying : If you can’t beat them , then join them .The secret to feeling at home with the Chinese people isn’t to try to make them change over to Western ways . The secret is to become one of them . Just go with the flow , or don’t take things too seriously . In this way you will surely feel at home in China .
If you no longer emphasize (强调) our differences from the Chinese , you will be more willing to concentrate on what “ big noses ” and “ small noses ” have in common .

A. the author likes to talk with the Chinese
