They all came from the country to Beijing and live more or less half an hour by car from the city.<br/> Some were still in highschool(or middle school as it is called here) Some were artists, some study in Beijing. Topics we talked about were:</p> <p>What kind of music and fashion do you like. I showed them the questions of the Amsterdam Pal West students. (They loved the Ni Hao and the Chinese counting from Zinzi.....)<br/> Their taste was very divers: from traditional Cinese country music to hard rock, Cold play, R&amp;B and soft English popmusic. <br/> About fashion: they were not really in the brands like Gucci and D&amp;G Most liked sportsclothing, and liked, but could not afford Nike and Adidas. They did not like the fakebrands, they rather save money and buy he real thing.</p> <p>Other topics were: Beiing an only child, The Olympics(only one could affordto go, tickets are rare and expensive, I still do not have any tickets yet either) and the longterm effect, marriage( it is OK for Chinese couples to have SEX and LIVE TOGETHER BEFORE MARRIAGE). he way he West is looking at Cina, Obama(Colour is o issue for the kids) and the friendship of China and Africa.</p> <p>Thank you all, dear friends of Xao min, it was wonderful to talk to you.<br/> We will show your movie of the debate in Holland the second week in September. After that it will be on line at couscousglobal as well.</p> maartje nevejan http://www.couscousglobal.com/id/176 ARTICLE news
