Kesepian

It's been a funny experience here...the more similar you are to them then you are invisible, you don't even exist.

If you can speak and read Chinese and you are a Chinese then you are not invited out nor to any activities. If you stand out by being really really tall and you are a Black or White person then you're welcomed very warmly.

Can you imagine 4 person in a small crammed room and a lecturer comes in and talks to the 2 guys, he doesn't even acknowledge the 2 girls' presence. Not a smile, nod or even a Hi. It was like as though they were not existent. I guess the girls felt hurt...It was rude too. 

The two gurls have been here 2 weeks earlier than the 2 guys but the girls were not asked out by anyone. In a foreign country with different cultures and language, the girls didn't know anything about the culture or food or even shopping. Left alone to fend for themselves. They observed the local students to see what to do after people finished the food, where to throw the rubbish.


Then the 2 men came and the men were taken out on the 1st day they arrived. Every evening the men were asked out by the local guys and girls. The two girls were invisible...

How did the 2 girls feel?
In the meeting, the guys were given task for the event that the University was going to host. Then the director asked the students what the girls were to do...The students had no idea, they totally forgot the girls existed...

How did the 2 girls feel? The girls were intern students too but the university students treated them like the female interns were non existent...The local female students showed the favoritism more evidently. 
I don't know if we are 2nd class people, invisible people or just not really welcomed?
Here's where you sleep. Set up your own tent and don't bother me...Find your meals yourself and go discover the surroundings by yourself. Pandai-pandailah you hidup.
