While I grew up watching lot of kungfu movies, I had the idea that The Chinese would be people in traditional Chinese clothes with wooden houses and wooden restaurants with people eating with chopsticks and the famous soupbowls much like the perception that Indians live in houses made of thached roof. My visit to ...

Ava, I had written a similar sort of blog, for some reason it has not been posted, I am trying to repost it. Whatever you have written is absolutely true, there is this myth that native speakers are better than non-native, but i guess they want to pick up the American accent. Full Comment>>

Hard working is fine , but hard working with proper discipline is a must. From my trip to China I figured that it was not a laid back country. The people were always on their ...
