2 weeks ago I came here to work and learn Chinese which is one of the most popular languages in the world now . Before coming here I had found some information about Yiwu . But it was not enough . For example,the taxi drivers are very brave when they drive their cars,but now I feel it is ok . I could visit nowhere in 2 weeks because I'mm uch busy in the work. Generally,the European people have holidays on Saturdays and Sundays,but here I have no holiday . I have a lot of work to do,so I have no tim e to relax .I like learning new cultures in the world,and here I started to learn Chinese culture . The people in Yiwu are kind and helpful .
I get up at 7:30 every morning and study Chinese for half an hour . Then I go to my office which is in the centre of Yiwu .We have some customers from Turkey,but it is also difficult for us to communicate, because we have time difference between us . Except this I have no problem now at work . I made some
Chinese friends at work . They also help me much to improve m y Chinese and to visit Yiwu. The most diffucult thing for me here is the food because my religion is Islam. We can't eat pork and lard . I always eat in Turkish restaurant . Of course, I'msure Chinese foods are delicious .
Yiwu can be best described as　'A Giant Supermarket'. In Yiwu,you can purchase everything you want. Last month a customer and I visited 500 shops in one day,with no exaggeration .
My customers from Turkey love Yiwu too . Yesterday I went to Starbucks Coffee with one of my customers . We talked about life in Yiwu for foreigners. He said:"I visited lots of countries in the world . But here I see that life non stops,24 hours the people are on the road . The city never sleeps like Istanbul ."
