In describing his feelings about study in Changchun, one 20-year-old Indian student says he has also learned Chinese culture and is addicted to online shopping since the experience has "greatly influenced his shopping habits". He goes on to say, "One day we will return our home countries as doctors and will spread Chinese culture."
