Hello Vera Jun Jin Jason Gail Charles Ed Pln Oshiro Alberto Chaya Simone and all,
Vera,I quite understand why you think being a traveller is better than a scholar or a post graduate student. However,I thnik differently as I used to travel a lot as an independant traveller. It's far more interesting to mingle with the locals by working,studying or living together with them than spending some short period of time exploring places alone.The second interactions with the locals are much too shallow,too superficial and too short in my opinion.;) I suppose it all depends on your own attitudes toward the place you choose to study. Students in European countries don't think studies are everything in their life. In their mind,education/knowledge can be acquired in various ways which means they cannot only be confined in the classroom or on the campus,but also through travelling and clubbing with fellow students from other countries or discussing current issues with professors,local acquaintances...:) There's something else I've observed from Asian students. They seem quite determined to finish their studies and care only about their grade reports... They tend to forget to look around their surroundings... Sometimes it's hard for them to smile because of the heavy load of books to study...:( And it's not as glamorous or easy as you think to switch from one culture to another... We have to learn from hilarious or embarrassing mistakes on a daily basis when two extreme cultures collide!!! And this,Pln and I will share with you later when similar situations occur or new threads started...LOL Good night, Claire On Oct 12, 6:50 pm, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Claire Gail Pln Jason Charles Vera Ed and all, > > I always think that if you think you can, you can.
