来自波兰的金卡·塔尔卡。她已经在武汉生活了一年半。在接受《武汉旅游》采访时，她谈到了她在武汉的生活。
Located in ,Central Europe,Poland is a country with truly fascinating history ,great cultural heritage and several areas of outstanding natural beauty and is famous for its vodka,sausages,ginger bread and sheep milk cheese.In 'Foreigners in Wuhan' section ous second guesr this time is a frieng from Poland, Kinka Tlalka .She is living in Wuhan for one and half years. In an interview with《Wuhan Toursim》 she told us about her life in Wuhan .
《武汉旅游》：您为什么来到武汉？
Kinka：我来这儿主要是学习中文和了解中国文化。我在武汉大学学过一年的中文，也在武大教过一段时间的英语，现在我在一家法国公司任教。
《武汉旅游》：您去过其他的地方吗？
Kinka：去过，我去过北京、香港、澳门、桂林、阳朔、重庆和西安。
《武汉旅游》：到目前为止，您去过武汉的哪些地方？您最喜欢哪个地方？
Kinka：东湖、黄鹤楼、长江、归元寺 和很多附近的村庄。我也看过汉剧，喜欢在汉阳的一个小公园里散步。
《武汉旅游》：您觉得武汉怎么样？
Kinka：武汉是个很有趣的地方，不像北京和上海，武汉很有中国特色。这儿有很多老外，也有很多机会了解中国文化，体育设施也很多。虽然，脏乱的环境和不太好的交通让人难以适应，但对大多数老外来说，这些还不是很困难。武汉人很友好。
《武汉旅游》：武汉有什么让您感到有趣的事吗？
Kinka：有很多。刚来的时候，发现有很多人想和我的金发碧眼的朋友合影，我觉得很奇怪。在这儿，我第一次看到穿着开裆裤的小孩，大街上人们穿着睡衣，在精品店里购物，女孩子们穿着睡衣和名牌鞋，挎着漂亮的手提包。
《武汉旅游》：您在武汉的生活和您在波兰时有什么不同吗？
Kinka：我在波兰的生活更加繁忙，在各个方面都有些不同：饮食不同，人们看待你的方式不同，和你说话的方式也不同。这儿并不是每个地方都有暖气，刚开始的时候，真的很难适应。咖啡也不一样，这里的咖啡都很贵，中式餐馆里没有咖啡。大学里的生活对我来说更困难，面包没有欧洲的好，也没有很好的酸奶酪，这里的酸奶酪太甜但是越来越好。
《武汉旅游》：您觉得中国学生和欧洲的学生有什么不同？
Kinka：我觉得西方的学生更加独立，比中国学生能更好的面对生活。
《武汉旅游》：您的日常生活是怎样的？
Kinka：早上起来后，我会喝杯咖啡。事实上，咖啡机是我在中国买的第一样东西。然后，备课或学中文，每个星期我会让家庭教师来三次，教我学中文。接着，我就去上课。通常按照惯例，我的午餐吃的比较早，我自己做饭。下班后，我会学中文或者参加一些体育活动，周末会有更多的体育活动。我喜欢骑自行车，有时我也和学生们打打篮球。
Kinka：步行街附近的一家日本餐馆，那里环境幽雅，饭菜也很不错。
《武汉旅游》：您最喜欢的武汉美食是什么？
Kinka：鱼、炒饭、豆腐。
《武汉旅游》：您最喜欢买什么？最喜欢在哪里购物？
Kinka：我喜欢买传统的中国丝绸服装和其他的小东西，象钱包和中国娃娃。我最喜欢的地方是汉正街。胭脂山的裁缝很不错，他们能模仿所有的设计，我的一些中式衣服和裤子都是他们做的。我也很喜欢去按摩，和欧洲比起来，这里的按摩很便宜，而且很让人觉得放松。
《武汉旅游》：您认为武汉最美好的事情是什么？
Kinka：我碰到的武汉人，特别是我在大学里结交的朋友。
Q:Hi Kinka ,thanks a lot for your time ,First of all tell us what brought you in Wuhan ?
A:I came here to learn Chinese language and know about Chinese Culture .For one year I studied Chinese language at Wuhan University. For some time I taught English at Wuhan University and now I am teaching at a French company.

A:Donghu,Yellow Crane Tower,Yangtze River,Guiyuan Si, Lots of villages around,have also seen Wuhan Opera.I like a small park in Hanyang for walk.
Q:What is your opinion about Wuhan?
A:It is really an interesting place. It is not like Beijing or HK. It is real China.There are lots of foreigners here.Lots of opportunities to observe true Chinese culture.Lots of facilities for sports . It is little bit polluted,traffic is horrible,weather is difficult to get used to but over all life for foreigners is not difficult here.People are nice and friendly .
Q:What are the things you find interesting in Wuhan?
A:There are many things .In the early days of my arrival here I saw that many people want to have a picture with my blonde hair and blue eyed friend ,it was quite strange for me . I saw here first time pants opened at buttock for small children , poeple wearing pyjamas in streets and doing shopping in fancy shopping plazas or girls in pyjamas but wearing branded shoes or carrying fancy handbags.
Q: Is there any thing you don't like here?
A:Some times people are rude or laugh if they don't understand me especially in the begining it was difficult.At times the behaviour in the bus surprises me that the young people don't offer seats to older poeple.People smoke even it is forbidden.They spit or throw rubbish every where,talk loudly. these are some things other wise over all people really are nice and friendly.
Q:How your life in Wuhan is different from your life in Poland?
A: My life in Poland was more busy. Life over all is different here in every aspect;food is different,the way people look at you ,speak to you is different. In the beginning it was really hard to cope with the fact that heating system is not every where .Coffee is different,.every where it is very expensive.It is impossible to get coffee at typical chinese resturants,It was even harder in university .Bread is not as good as Europe. There is not so good local yougurt,.it's too sweet but yue lai yue hao.In the first few months of my arrival here every thing was so exciting so different but now I am used to it and it seems normal life.
Q:How was the exeperince of studying here?
A: Method of teaching is completely different.There is no english at all.Teachers take more care of their students.Even at university they treat you like a primary school student. They ask every little detail like what did you eat, when you woke up etc and when I was teaching at Wuhan University my students expected from me the same.
Q: How would you compare students in Europe and China?
A:I think students in West are more independent and better prepared to face life than students in China?
Q:What is your every day routine ?
A:After i wake up , I get a cup of coffee. Infact coffee machine was 1st thing I bought in China Then I prepare for my classes,or learn Chinese.Three times a week I take home tution for Chinese. Then I go to teach. Usually because of my routine I have an early lunch .I cook by myself.After I come back from my work I learn Chinese or practice sports. There are more sports on weekends .I love bycycling and now some times I play basketball with my students. In summer I love swimming.If get free time then watch TV. Dinner is mostly with friends as we don't have our families here so I have a large group of friends and we dine toghether.Some times, we also go out eating. Two times a week I go shopping to buy groceries with my friends and on weekend go to Soho or Blue sky to dance.

Q:What is your favourite shopping item and place in Wuhan?
A: I love to buy traditional Chinese silk clothes or small silk things ,wallet .Chinese dolls, My favourite place is Han Zhan Jie. I don't like walking street much because there are always so many people and its always noisy and which ever shop you go can't try any thing because the sales girls keep shouting at the top of their voice and it's exepensive too. Tailors in Yanzhi Shan are really good.They can really copy every design.I have some Chinese style clothes and some trousers made by them . I like go massaging as it is quite cheap and relaxing in comparison to Europe.
Q:What is the best thing in Wuhan ?
A:The people I met here and make friends with, especially my friends from university.
