Do you often watch TV programs? There are many TV programs on Chinese cuisines (烹饪、美食),but few are like A Bite of China. It tries to bring something new by introducing more cultural features (特征) related to dishes, such as eating habits and wonderful stories about food.

It’s said that more than 100 million Chinese people are watching the program. Most Chinese people regard this program as more than just the regular food shows. They see it as an amazing documentary providing a special view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food , between people and society.

On the other hand, the documentary also stimulates (刺激) Chinese people’s consumption (消耗). Taobao, one of China’s biggest online shopping sites, reports that the search on food items that were introduced by the documentary has increased to 4 million times in one week, and sales have increased to 5.82 million.

To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing research and interviews in about 60 cities before they started making the documentary last July.

"An Englishman,even if he is alone,forms an orderly queue of one," wrote a famous British author,George Mikes.While this sounds funny,it's a popular English stereotype(刻板印象).From the supermarket to the subway,queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.

Here in China,queues are normal,too.It is a part of everyday life.People queue most of the time,from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant.But in certain situations,you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd,such as getting onto the subway.Even away from the busy subway platform,queues are different.

One day I was standing in line at the supermarket.I left a small space in front of me.Within seconds,a girl walked by and took her place in that small space.I was surprised at first,but later I found these experiences very interesting.It is with these small,everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture.

Back in Britain,the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue,according to the auction site MadBid.To pass the time,maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb..Good things come to those who wait.
