F2F Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

What are the main stereotypes for gen x / y and millennials in China.

The first 3 days I hanged out with my family to have a dinner and we enjoyed a lot of dishes and I have some relatives we gather together to celebrate the festival.
We talked a lot and we shared our stories happened in the past 1 year.
But I found it is interesting that when we didn’t talk we just played phones each other and then when the dishes arrived

People always take the phone to take the photos and then we ate and when we ate we watched tv to see a traditional TV show called Chinese new year festival TV show but I thought that in the 90s we didn’t take it seriously but for people in the middle age they really like watching this tv show because it is a tradition but for younger people they don’t care too much.

the second day we just visit our family , my mother side and always ate a lot and we visit a place called zhuzhajiao . It is like old town and there are lots of traditional food but we didn’t feel interested so we just leave quickly.

The third day I went to Disneyland with my friend, always a lot of people because people cannot leave SH because covid so they decided to stay in SH so there were too many people in Disneyland and I found the price, especially food price is much higher. Corn in the family mart is sold at CNY3 but in Disneyland it is sold CNY30. And an ice-cream you can buy in familuymart 5 but in Disneyland it is sold 50. it is 10 times as much.
