^ I agree there are differences between western and eastern cultures.
Maybe it's a cultural thing, maybe helping people is considered "cool" in china

It was a really weird experience for me and at the time I felt overwhelmed by it all because I'm just not used to people helping me

I just usually muddle through making it up as I go it alone

I actually passed the module in the end
By the skin of my teeth but I still passed

I don't ever want anything to do with linear equations ever again in my life though

No way José

It's a good thing I don't really use my devices when I'm on the move or I'd be stuffed traveling on trains across the north west of England

They didn't even have usb sockets in the train to Liverpool yesterday

There or back

When I was struggling with my economics module in uni I couldn't believe how helpful the Chinese students were

They almost did my work for me

I think they just enjoyed doing it to be fair but I've lived in the UK all my life and I can't even remember getting that much help from an English person

I should have teamed up with a Chinese person at school and I might have done better

And yeah I know Chinese and Japanese are different cultures but I was only thinking

Chinese people can be really nice when you get to know them. They have a sort of community caring way about them which I appreciate.

Yeah it's really nice but for me being a lone wolf it was really overwhelming

I'll never forget it

Yeah mate I've got one but like I say I very rarely look at my phone when I'm out anyway
It was more about my observation of the state of our trains

How one cup of sunflower seeds can be more satisfying than a large bag of chips.

Yes I am. I want to look like Mick Avory again and I want to live a long life.
