Culture Shock
Rent A year ago, I knew an American at work. She was a year younger than me at the time. She was working and taking classes. We used to hang out a lot on our day off. One day she invited me to her house, and then I saw her younger sister. She said, I am tired. I was curious to ask where she had been and why she was so tired. She was like I just got off from work. I said, why are you working at such a young age. She told me that they had to pay rent to their parents every month. I was shocked because in China we don't have to pay rent to our parents. I think it was probably the first time I realized the difference in culture.
