Experiencing how another culture lives is very indicative of the differences between the East and the West. History has long taught us Asians the value of hard work, and apparently it has persisted until now. There are so many things wrong with the system. Yet, none is perfect. In every society, there will be flaws.

Here, with a 35 hour work week, the teachers tell us that Asians work a lot harder. But do they know how to play?

Xian, not getting a second major won't kill your chances. No one really cares at the end what it says on your transcript. It may feel like it now, but there are many more people, even back home, for whom school ends much earlier.

There are many paths to the end. The problem is that we're not taught to be creative and find our own ways.

P.S. Hope everything's fine with everyone else.
P.P.S. Email me your address if you want a postcard btw, it'll probably reach you after I arrive back, but nvm =D
