CHINA

Way To My Go Al

By Anonymous

I moved from China to the United States so I could get a better education and a better job. Some of the best universities in the world are in the United States. The country also has some of the best institutions and job opportunities in that area. If I went to school and worked in the United States, I would get the information, skills, and chances I needed to reach my goals. I also wanted to learn about and live in a different country. The cultures, traditions, and views of China and the United States are very different from each other. As a young student in China, I was interested in computer science and technology. I heard that I could study at some of the best universities and learn about a new culture in the United States. This was a very hard task, but I couldn't pass up the chance. I was excited and nervous when I got to the United States, but I was ready to work hard to reach my goals.

Tipping Culture

By Anonymous

One cultural difference that has caused me a little shock as I’ve been in the U.S. is the culture of tips. In China, tipping is not very common. Most expensive and upscale restaurants in China don’t charge any tips from customers. However, in Miami Beach, most sitdown restaurants ask for a mandatory service charge. And usually that charge starts at 15 percent or up to 20 percent. Sometimes besides the compulsory part, the waiter or waitress still asks for extra tips. They explain this extra tip belongs to them personally. But from a consumer’s perspective, it increases the cost of eating out for people or tourists. Since I’m here I have to follow this norm as well.
