The Kindness of Strangers

Everyone here has been incredibly kind to us. My new Chinese roommate has patiently taught me how to ride the bus, how to order certain types of food, gave me tickets to a sold-out show, and shown me where to shop.

The Chinese students we have hooked up with have also gone above and beyond the call of duty to help us. They have treated us to meals, taken us to the hospital to get checkups, acted as translators, taken us shopping and sigtseeing, and even found apartments for us. I only hope I can repay the debt when they come to the US next year.

I was worried that I would come here and be alone. This has not been the case at all. The students have befriended us and shown us the ropes at SU. For that I am grateful.
