Yeah not to mention US university not having more rigid standards for chinese students since they desperately needed their tuition money. In BC the uni even built special luxury student dorms for chinese students which offered features such as tutoring and remedial english classes on site.

There's a pretty wide variation. Like the guy above is talking about building luxury condos for Chinese students while the ones I knew crammed into 3 bedroom apartments that cost at most ~$800/month (total, not per person).

quote:The book, which features a photo on the cover of Liu posing with her admission letter to Harvard, espoused unconventional techniques for turning out an Ivy-caliber child. Liu's parents challenged the young girl to hold ice in her hands for as long as she could bear it to improve her endurance and made her jump rope every day for increasingly longer periods until she won a school contest. I love how the entire thing is how she was admitted to Harvard and now how well she did there. I guess we can all figure that one out.

Der Shovel posted:Recently a Chinese family moved into the building I live in. It's all rentals, and it's a really quiet middle class Finnish neighbourhood. The Chinese family have had some difficulty adapting to life in Finland, or rather their precious little emperor has. Now imagine a 10-story building where more than half the people there have kids, and the parents are working so the grandparents are watching the kids, who all leave their doors open all day and talk loudly and blare their TV and let all of the kids run up and down in the hallway and play in the stairs and elevator and leave garbage out in the hall and the whole place smells like nasty cooking and the sounds of screams, crashing, banging, and crying can be heard in between shouted conversations by people in different apartments or floors from sun rise to midnight. And that's living in most apartments in China. Also at night time there are people having sex on their rickety wood beds and it's very loud due to the bed shifting and shaking. serious norman posted:Snake Spirit Boy spotted These two need to get together

Haier posted:leave garbage out in the hall and the whole place smells like nasty cooking Oooooh yeah. Back when I was doing my BSc, I lived in student housing and most of the other tenants were foreign students, mostly from Middle-Eastern countries and China. Garbage bags in the corridor were the norm and even repeated warnings and e-mails from the housing service couldn't get them to understand that the large garbage bins outside were where garbage should go, not the hallway. I remember two enterprising guys just threw their garbage bags out onto their balcony, which resulted in a man-sized mountain of garbage and poo poo festering out in the open. In the summer there was a black cloud of flies buzzing around their balcony, and nobody in the building could keep any windows open because their flats would be full of flies immediately. Despite many people complaining over and over again to the students' housing service nothing serious was ever done about these guys because can't hurt their feelings or something I guess. When they finally moved out after one school year, I remember that dudes in hazmat suits stripped down the entire flat, threw all the furniture and fixings out and basically chemically cleaned and repainted everything just so some other assholes could wreck it the next year.

Der Shovel posted:Garbage bags in the corridor were the norm All Chinese do this. If you remove the stinky garbage from the house and put it in the hall then suddenly the house smells better! No matter if the hall always stinks, because that doesn't stop most people from leaving their doors open anyway. When they get around to going downstairs or leaving the building they will take the garbage with them, but if they are in a hurry they will do it next time. It's best in summer when it's 35 degrees outside and the heat in the hall is at peak temperature and the garbage has been there for a couple days. Many buildings have cleaners who come to sweep and clean the hallways, but not all buildings do. Chinese have come to the universal agreement that if you clean your house and throw/sweep all of the filth into the hallways, it's no longer your responsibility to clean and someone else will do it. Except not all the buildings have those cleaner people, but it doesn't stop the residents from dumping all their dust and garbage into the hall anyway and it stays there for ages until the landlord comes to collect rent and sees poo poo everywhere and gets someone somewhere to sweep it up. The last building I lived in had a family with one kid. He was an unwatched animal and, due to the "not my responsibility" mentality about the halls and making a mess, they would purposely feed him on the stairs so they didn't have to clean up after him. Almost every single day I would come home at night and be walking up the stairs to have to dodge every kind of oil and slime before reaching their floor, and there was always ice cream wrappers and juice boxes strewn about. The floor above them had a couple that seemed to be balding or ran a kitchen salon, because every day they would sweep more and more piles of hair into the hall and it just got worse and worse. With the hall windows open, a breeze would blow through during storms and blow the hair down stairs into the food mess from the kid and there would be these dried clumps of hair and food stuck to the floor. Blistex posted:Ugh! Grandparent babysitters are probably the #1 killer of Chinese kids. The "bad people have become old" quote is especially true for the way they treat the kids growing up (especially females). I've had the conversation of "My grandma/grandpa just died." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." "No, it doesn't matter." so many times. My first LTR with a Chinese girl where we were talking marriage and babies she told me if I stayed in China or she went to the USA, my mother would be the one to raise our kid/s. I asked why and of course got more of the "my parents are literal garbage because of how they treated me because I'm a girl" stories and that it was really important our kid would have as little exposure and time with her parents as possible. When I told her my mom is highly educated and works and won't quit her career to raise our kid, she then said she'd give up her own career to make sure the kid was raised right. I believe she said we would be allowed to visit her hometown with the kid for one week at a time, once a year or every two years. She thought that was more than enough.
