I met my conversation partner, Hongru, on Wednesday,July 22, and we had an interesting conversation on how our culture influences our life choices. I had the opportunity to learn more about what Chinese people think about life in the United States, and we also talked about our personal views and experiences on our previous important decisions related to our culture. We also mentioned the concept of happiness, Hongru explained to me how people enjoy their life in China compared to the United States ways of pursuing happiness, and I also mentioned how Italians feel about reaching happiness in life. Every time I learn something new and I feel empowered as these new details are helping me to widen my way of thinking and to see things from a different perspective.
