17、 was real.I couldnt imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I dont know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijin
18、g. “Ive become so spoiled in China.China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing
19、 suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight.
