Life in America..

is ideal, is relaxing, is very laid back, is definitely less competitive. America is a very liberal country where human rights were placed at the upmost level. I was amazed when the platform of a public bus can actually be flipped over onto the roadside curb so that diable passenger can get onto the bus with their wheelchair. The bus driver would also get off the bus and help the disabled passenger...now you don't see this back in Malaysia or Singapore.. And there are special seats on the bus reserved for disabled people and the elderly..nice..

Most of the American that I've met are friendly and respectful. In my hallway, everyone would just say "hi" "hey" when we bump to each other and start chatting. In PGP, when I say "hi" to a resident, she would just give me "a look"... =:=

In almost every lecture, students in UCLA would definitely raised their hands up to ask questions, interrupting the lecturer's talk. I have not encountered any of the event when a student actually stop the lecturer from talking in NUS...
