de paseando. The city has another side, and I've found that out today too. I was looking for the Chinese shops that Susanna has been talking about these days, basically our 十元商店. Everything was sold there, anything you could imagine, but i still couldn't find my "steam rack", but it's always fun to know a new side of the city.
As for local Chinese community, I always tend to keep a certain distance. I found it difficult for me to blend in with them and neither do I really want to do so. With the Taiwanese community as well, though I doubt that there is any here in Bilbao. It's just the sense that "we belong together because we have similar culture" bothers me. A lot of times, the Taiwanese students I met abroad, we would barely have anything in common because we don't have similar interests and values. However, when we're abroad, we're rather forced to be put in the same category just because of the most obvious feature we share. This discourse doesn't work for me. Nor do I understand people who only want to spend time together with the people from their same country. I mean, why do you even bother to be abroad then?
