初次介绍与破冰

Hi everyone! So glad to finally meet you all. I'm Li Wei, from Beijing. It's my first time at a cultural exchange like this, and I'm really excited to learn about your cultures.

Welcome, Li Wei! It's a pleasure to have you here. I'm David, and I'm one of the local hosts. We're thrilled you could make it. We have people from all over the world today.

Hi Li Wei and David! My name is Clara, and I'm from Paris, France. It's fascinating to hear about everyone's backgrounds. Li Wei, I've always wanted to visit Beijing!

And I'm Kenji, from Tokyo, Japan. It's great to connect with fellow international participants. I'm curious, Li Wei, what was your first impression when you arrived here?

That's a great question, Kenji! My first impression was how green and open everything feels compared to Beijing. And the air quality, of course, is a pleasant surprise! What about you, Clara, have you noticed any significant differences that stood out?

Oh, definitely! Coming from Paris, I find the pace of life here much more relaxed. People seem to take their time more. It's quite a contrast. David, do you think that's a common observation from visitors?

Absolutely, Clara. Many people comment on that. We do have a more laid-back culture here, which I think is a charming aspect. It's interesting how perspectives differ based on where you come from.

I agree. In Tokyo, everything is incredibly efficient and fast-paced, so I can definitely relate to your observation, Clara. It's refreshing to experience a different rhythm.
