CHINESE•HAMBURGER • The origine of world's first hamburger doesn't come from where you think it comes from. It wasn't invented in the US, and it didn't originate either in Germany. No, the world's first hamburger comes from China! • If you're scratching your head right now, you're not alone. But Chinese hamburgers are very real and they definitely backdate the hamburgers known in the U.S. • Known as rou jia mo. The direct translation for Rou Jia Mo (肉夹馍) is “meat in a bun,” which sort of makes it similar to what we’d think of as a hamburger, or maybe a Chinese sloppy joe. So there’s the meat, consist of chopped meat and there’s a pita-like bun, and they've been around since the Qin dynasty, from about 221 BC to 207 BC. • The rou jia mo originated in the Shaanxi Province of China, is considered a staple street food of the region and has become popular all over China. Both the mo and the meat stew are generally made right on the street by the vendors. • The meat filling might consist of chopped pork, beef, lamb or chicken that has been stewed with a variety of spices, like ginger, cloves, coriander and star anise. You might also find herbs like cilantro or greens like lettuce garnishing the sandwich. • ❤️Have you tried them before?❤️ • • • • • #xianstreetfood #abiteofchina #chinesefood #eatingcjinese #tastytuesday #ShaanxiProvince #肉夹馍 #Qindynastyfood #foodandtravel #eatandtravel #foodstuffs #foodtesting #fooddairy #foodiesfeed #eattheworld #tastingtable #rslove #tastemade #createandcapture #daysofsmallthings #simpleandstill #f52bestof #untoldvisuals #aseasonalsift #eatrealfood #tinytinymoments #hautescuisine #mangerchinois #chineseburger #ROUJIAMO (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WY_3gnS8P/?igshid=7peph7xjmhq2

PRE-PROJECT : CITY TOUR XIAN CITY WALL AND DAYAN PAGODA

Since I came to China earlier, my project started a week after I arrived. In this week, some exchange participants already came and we started the welcoming party. Before the welcoming party, I already met Ikram from Morocco. We have already talked before we both arrived in China. She liked Korean things and a big fan of a Korean boy band, so we share the same interest. We went to the welcoming party together and met the other EPs in the Youth Hotel. The welcoming party was great, we had a chit-chat, and danced the roll call.

The next day, we went to Xi’an City Wall, one of the most famous places in Xi’an. If there’s no city wall, there’s no Xi’an. I didn’t know how to get there, they just told me to take the subway and get off at the Yongningmen station. But, because I was new in this city, I was afraid to get lost so I took a taxi instead. The driver stopped in a place and I didn’t know how to get to the Yongningmen gate of City Wall. I saw the gate from my place but I had no idea how to get in because of no crossing. I walked around to see the cross to the gate but I find nothing. Then, I saw some downstairs to underground and I realized I was so stupid because the only way to get there was from the underground. It took me around 10 minutes to see it.  *smh*

   Pendeknya daku (//\)

The other EPs had already arrived at the gate and we bought the ticket using our student card to get a half price. I was not a student anymore but I used mine and they accepted it XD some of us already planned to took a bike ride around the wall so we rent the bike. I forget the price, but I think it’s 40 Yuan for the bike and 200 Yuan for the deposit. They will give the 200 Yuan back after we finished our ride for 90 minutes. It’s only me, Christin from Germany, and Sjoerd from Netherlands who rode the bike. For a short girl like me, the bike was a bit too high so Christin offered to change with hers but it’s the same thing. The problem was in me not the bike XD But it’s okay I kept riding with my skirt on and tried my best not to fall down. The weather was not too hot and I could feel the wind. The city wall was so big so we couldn’t finish the whole round because of something and stopped at the South Gate.

We finished the ride and had lunch. Luckily, a Chinese student helped me to find a halal restaurant to get my food and brought it back to the restaurant where the others waited in. While waiting for our food, we talked about Islam and he was so curious about everything. During our talk, a Chinese little boy approached me and said something in Chinese, the only word I understood is ‘Jiejie’ which meant sister. I didn’t know how to answer and then he said, ‘Yeah you know, we are Asian, we look the same, so he thought you are Chinese.’

He took us to play a board game after lunch. I had no idea what kind of game was it, but he insisted to say that it’s fun. So in China, there’s a place, restaurant-like, but especially to play games together with friends or family. They will give us some board games like monopoly, snake & ladder, and something like those to play. Each person only needs to pay 50 Yuan to play everything we want and get free drinks and food. We could order the drink as much as we want. He chose some games for us and tried his best to explain how to play it. The one who loses, had to drink a punishment drink. Sjoerd was always lost so he had to drink it. But after some games, I changed my seat with him and it’s my turn to lose. The drink was horrible.

The board game ended and I needed to pray, so he kindly helped me to ask a room in that place for me to pray. I prayed and we headed to Dayan Pagoda after that. We met the other EPs there and watched the fountain show, the biggest fountain show in Asia. It’s always crowded there and again, because of my height, I couldn’t see it clearly and all I saw were people’s head. *smh*

All hooman~~

X: “Kamu lihat apa?”

Y: “Kepala manusia” XD

Btw ini fountain show terbesar di Asia, makanya super rame

I arrived in my hostel a little bit late than before, but again, two Chinese students kindly sent me to my subway station. In the next day, we went to a Chinese traditional school. The school located on the first floor of a building, I thought it’s an apartment. Most of the students were in kindergarten age, so you know how energetic they’re. My first sight in this school was a little boy, wearing a blue shirt, and hella cute. I sat near him, tried to talk with him in the only Chinese phrases I knew. We had a country introduction at that time. Before my turn, this little boy, named Brian, sat in my lap and I hugged him.  I caressed his cheek and pinched it gently. And all in a sudden, he kissed my cheek. Oh God this kid was too adorable :3 Anyway, we also had a Chinese book reading and calligraphy. All of the food in this school were so healthy. No meat. Only vegetables, fruits, and no cold water! It’s warm water that they served. I love it!

Semacam dari awal udah tau mana anak yang sayang samaku *halah* / tertangkap menguyel-uyel anak orang :P

Impressive sekali ya buatanku. *muji diri sendiri* *padahal jelek*

We visited that school only for one day. OH! In the morning before we all went to this school, we went to a Chinese Martial Arts center to learn some Taichi. I thought, no one really focused on the Taichi class as we did that just for fun XD But seeing some women and men showed their skill on this, we were really impressed. There’s a Taichi teacher asking us to pull him with all power we had, but no one succeed in doing so. See, what an inner-power he had!

Taichi di pagi hari. Gak yang laki-laki, yang perempuan, keren-keren banget.

After that day, we had nothing to do, just some meeting before we headed to another city called Yanan in the next week to start the project!

ASSALAMU’ALAIKUM, XI’AN!

 After a long wait, finally I made my first step abroad in summer this year. It’s not easy, I struggled to finally arrive in Xi’an, China. Long story short, I applied for a youth exchange project through AIESEC;  one of the biggest youth organization in the world. Yeah, for some people it might be not a good idea because you need to spend some of your money, but please kindly read this story until the last part and hopefully, it can give you a new thought! 

           There were some projects in several countries I applied: South Korea (it’s a must), Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, and then China. So, actually, you can choose what kind of project you want related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) points. Since I am really interested in teaching and I love interacting with children, all projects I have applied were about teaching. One of the reasons for me choosing this kind of project is because I always want to make a social impact. I told to myself, “Once you’re graduated, do something impactful on a larger scale.” I did some volunteering things during my university life but somehow I feel like I need something more. Because I know, besides teaching, I can also improve my English and the other soft-skills.

           Anyway, at that time, my communication with people from a project in South Korea wasn’t really good because neither we talked a lot nor he approached me back. Also issuing VISA to South Korea was a bit risky for me so I need to say goodbye to this country. Some students from Thailand, Malaysia, and The Philippines contacted me and I had an interview with the Malaysian one. The Malaysian project accepted me but I didn’t want to go there. Too close to my country XD

           There are 3 projects I applied in China, in different cities. Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Xi’an. I canceled the Guangzhou and Wuhan ones due to something, and I left Xi’an be the only project. A girl from the project contacted me first and she seemed so nice and friendly. We talked a lot on LINE and arranged the interview schedule. During the interview, she asked me several questions I have never thought that it would be asked, and I tried my best to answer it. Then after a day, she told me that she accepted me but the thing was, I didn’t know where exactly Xi’an was. I felt so stupid. I checked on the internet and it’s hella far. The flight ticket wasn’t cheap either. Since I have saved my own money for this awaited trip, okay, let’s just go!

-----------------

           My plane to Xi’an landed on the first hour of July 11th, 2017. It was midnight but a student picked me up at the airport and sent me to my hostel. The project gave us accommodation for free so no need to worry. I couldn’t sleep at that time because I was alone in a big room, nothing to do, and I still couldn’t believe that I was in another country now. I switched the TV on and all in Chinese. Then, I called my friend instead and talked for some minutes and tried to sleep after.

 In Kuala Namu International Airport, waiting for my flight to Malaysia.

 Arrived in Malaysia. While waiting for the next flight to Xian, I met some Indonesians who have just back from China for summer holiday.

 In the boarding room waiting for my flight to Xi’an. Started to feel China vibes: everyone talked in Chinese.

In the morning, the hostel owner took me outside to have breakfast. He couldn’t speak English so we relied on the WeChat and a translator application to communicate. My first meal in China was a cold noodle, porridge, and churros. I shocked when I tasted the noodle, it wasn’t good for me but I had to keep eating to respect him. The porridge was tasteless like neither it’s sweet nor salty. Then I thought, “Are all the food in China like this one? How can I survive for the following days?”

 Wake up late in the morning. Ni Hao, China!

 The porridge. Couldn’t finish it. *shake my head*

After the breakfast problem, we went back to the hostel and waited for my friend. She’s from Bandung, Indonesia, and was on another project in the same university with mine. While waiting for her, the hostel owner asked some neighbor kids to dance to welcome me. The girls danced with a Chinese song and we talked in the best way we could after that. She also gave me an ice cream and I have never thought Chinese people have that kind of hospitality.

           Anisa, my Indonesian friend finally arrived and we headed to Xi’an Great Mosque with a help from Super. She already told me before that she wanted to go to the mosque to do her thesis research in the first week (the project started in the 3rd week, we both arrived early). We took a taxi and in 40 minutes we arrived in the Muslim Quarter. It’s a place where many Hui Muslims in China lived and they also sold so many kinds of things there, like food, drinks, and souvenirs. I was amazed seeing so many Muslims here in Xi’an. I will write a special story for this one. 

Muslim Quarter.

Super didn’t really know how to get to the mosque and we got lost some time. We went to the old mosque instead of the great mosque. After looking around and asking some local people, we got to the Xian Great Mosque. There was a ticket store in the front and we were confused about why do we need to buy a ticket to a mosque? The ticket was 25 Yuan or around Rp. 50.000. Me and Anisa still confused but then Super asked the gate keeper and she said that the ticket was only for non-Muslims. Muslims only need to say an Islamic words or sentences to get in. We were relieved and said Salam ‘Alaykum to her.

The oldest mosque in Xi’an. Chinese traditional style.

My second meal. Chinese dumpling with leaves (I forget the name) inside. Not good for me, too. L

 The atmosphere inside was so calm and quiet. I could hear birds chirping, wind breezed, and the scenery was good also. We met some old Muslim men and women walking around the mosque. We walked around, took some pictures, and went back to the hostel. In the next day, we also went to this mosque for her research. Not with Super, but with Super’s friend. Anisa did her research while I and him walked around the mosque and he helped me to take some pictures.

 Third meal. Finally! It’s delicious! But Chinese portion was too big, I have to share with my friend to finish it. And see the drink? You can find it only in Shaanxi Province. My most favorite drink in Xi’an!

Xi’an Great Mosque.

The Chinese have been building empires for thousands of years—one stone at a time. And in spite of advanced technology in the building trades much of China’s rural areas continue to be built one stone at a time!! #visitshaanxi #360magazine #kcbx #ruralchina #culturaltravel #photooftheday #shaanxi #yanan #middlekingdom #visitshaanxi #shaanxiprovince (at Yanan, Shaanxi, China)
