Day 109 of 365
If you know me I have this interest in the Chinese culture and I love talking to the new cast from there and learning more about how they think and learning new things about their culture and lives. There are so many stereotypes about our friends from the other side of the world, some slightly accurate and some completely inaccurate. In the Chinese culture, respecting and revering your elders is such an integral part of their lives. It is very rare for a child to say no to a parent about choices that they want to make in their own lives, they generally go with what the parent wants for them because they do not want to offend their family or bring shame. I'm assuming for boys it isn't as unheard of but for girls, at least the girls I have met, they are afraid to disappoint their parents. Even when it comes to dating and marriage. So, when my friend shared with me how she ended up working with me, I knew what I needed to share... my appologies if I don't have everything...
