So refreshing, and wouldn't the world be such a better place if more people would say what they really feel instead of all this (am I allowed to swear here??) hypocritical bullshit.

Europe is actually way more self-centered.<br/><br/>The story I'm telling here is real. It was quite funny : we were a bunch of teens and young adults studying in China and we really didn't know about each other - we only knew the stereotyps. <br/><br/>I'd love to come back to China... my last visit there was in 2004 and I miss it.

I’d love to come back to China… my last visit there was in 2004 and I miss it.

And though where I live I may be part of the "majority", globally I don't think there is such a thing as a "majority". It's just one big planet full of minorities.<br/><br/>I have never been to China, but I would love to someday travel through that country on a motorcycle, that would be a wicked ride. I will read this blog as a cultural primer for my someday voyage! :) I am Canadian, and I think much of the time I feel like I am from another country other than Canada (or I should be) and sometimes I feel so darned proud of where I was born.
