I was talking to my brother on my phone the other day and he was telling me how he is backpacking around Europe, getting drunk, taking drugs and having one night stands.
I am in Asia working. Been here 3 years.
I vaguely suggested he visit Thailand and he said 'but Asian people are boring.'
It seems westerners have this weird view that introverted people who don't talk and make jokes are 'less good.'
I remember in High school looking down on the Chinese kids aswell.
However now I feel that this stereotype is so stupid. Westerners talk about their problems and what they want. Whereas Chinese wait to become more close before confiding. They don't talk about how they want to get rich and have sex and get drunk.
Doesn't everyone in the world want this ? You don't need to tell me. You are just the same as every other Tom Dick and Harry.
Like 90% of everything that is said to me on a daily basis doesn't mean anything or I already know it.
Put the internet to work for you.
