In the past 8 months I had a unique opportunity to experience something really different and interesting. I stared a second life, with a different language, different friends, different environment, different school, different family, and different habits. It was a little bit hard at the beginning, but after a couple of months I got used to all these differences and started to enjoy my life in China. I figured I should try to appreciate the new things that this culture could teach me instead of thinking of all the things that I missed from my life in America. I still think it’s impossible to accept every single aspect of such a different culture, but in the end the most important thing is opening your mind to a new way of thinking.
