Visit to the other WUST campus

Location: Snuggling in my cozy sleeping bag, 0001hrs

Visited the other WUST campus today! (Well it does have a name, not "the other campus", but I can't remember it already so!) Must say it’s a really fruitful and eye-opening trip.

Went to take a look at how the China student’s dormitory looked like and was taken aback by their hospitality. The room initially had 4 students and after I entered, the other students just kept flocking in to have a chat. According to them, they never had such a personal experience with a foreigner before cos hardly any foreigner visits their dorm. This probably explains why everyone was so curious and friendly.

If the same situation was to happen in Singapore, given that we have local students living in the dorms, I doubt the same kind of hospitality and friendliness would be experienced. Perhaps it’s the difference in culture and upbringing that makes us Singaporeans shy and not willing to take the first move. Here in China, they are very enthusiastic and hence, friendly and passionate. Flooded with questions, I had to struggle to answer all of it in Mandarin. Ironical enough, they thought I spoke Mandarin much more accurately than they did. (Inserts a huge HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA to whoever said I have a short tongue) I guess it’s the difference in the accent that’s why?

PS: This is typed in MSwords cos I have no internet access.
