Hi All,<\/p>\n
Since returning to my hometown in Massachusetts, I have encountered some situations that would be very unlikely to occur in China.\u00a0 The other day I went to get the H1N1 \u75ab\u82d7<\/strong> (vaccine) in order to \u9884\u9632<\/strong> (prevent) the spread of the virus.\u00a0 The vaccine was being distributed for free as part of a large public trial of the vaccine.\u00a0 Everyone present had to \u6392\u961f<\/strong> (get on line) outside my old \u5b66\u6821<\/strong> (school).\u00a0 The line snaked around the building, and various interest groups took advantage of the line’s length to spread their message; some of these groups included people promoting a candidate and who wanted people on line to \u6295\u7968<\/strong> (vote) for him in the upcoming \u53c2\u8bae\u4f1a<\/strong> (senate) elections.\u00a0 Another group present at the event was a public interest group distributing \u4f20\u5355<\/strong> (fliers) made to look like the information sheets being passed out by the doctors.\u00a0 One of the vaccine administration volunteers took the sheet away, prompting one person to ask what gave them the\u00a0 \u6743\u5229<\/strong> (right) to be able to do that, given that the sheets were not their own and that they were volunteers without authority to do such things.\u00a0 The volunteer promptly took the sheet and \u6254\u6389<\/strong> (threw [it ]away), which only led the person in line to inquire why she didn’t use it for \u56de\u6536 <\/strong>(recycling).\u00a0 I missed my hometown.<\/p>\n \u75ab\u82d7 yi2miao4 – vaccine Hi All, Since returning to my hometown in Massachusetts, I have encountered some situations that would be very unlikely to occur in China.\u00a0 The other day I went to get the H1N1 \u75ab\u82d7 (vaccine) in order to \u9884\u9632 (prevent) the spread of the virus.\u00a0 The vaccine was being distributed for free as part of a…<\/p>\n
