The more you show, the more evidence to give against yourself. I wonder what those kids are REALLY thinking now? Are they actually learning and enjoying the british culture? I doubt it very much.

One VERY BIG problem that these kids face when going overseas is that they suddenly find themselves in a strange land, with strange customs, and strange people. They might also find out that most of their classmates are in fact chinese, not british, since their english didn't exactly improve to the point of being able to handle a real, legitimate college class they have to first take the ESL types of classes. While objectively there is nothing wrong with taking these classes before going on to the real ones, it's the way they are fooled into believing they will get a "western" experience that really peeves me. It's a collaboration of [edited] on both sides (chinese and foreign) that drives this machine and wastes a whole generation's time.
