today i:
- caught up with my friend that i met while i was abroad in singapore. we had some issues initially connecting via fb video chat. eventually we just made it a normal audio call.
he said it was probably his side of the connection in malaysia since he’s home for break. he said he has like 4mbps internet speeds but is going back to singapore in like two days. they start school soon. we had interesting conversations on a variety of topics.
one thing we talked a lot about was the education systems in malaysia and the U.S. and what to do about them (i.e. affirmative action pros/cons). we also talked about discrimination in our respective countries. i got to learn a lot about what’s going on in malaysia, like discrimination against chinese people after malaysia became a free independent country from colonial rule. we also talked about what his plans are for his exchange in january 2019 (i.e. which school to go, where’s best). we also talked about other stuff like his experiences in singapore with singaporean students and exchange students. he’s sent out 30 letters to 30 exchanges students that he’s met. i should be getting mine soon!!
