Studying in another country, especially in the U.S.A, has been the best experience that I have ever had in my entire life. I have learned a little bit about each culture from around the world in one place, New York City. New York has different kinds of people of diverse races, ethnicities, religion, social status and more. I love it!
It is exciting to make new international friends, which gives me the opportunity to have more destinations to visit in the future. In fact, two of my best friends are from China. Also, the food is amazing because there are new flavors, smells, and food textures that I have never tasted before. I can easily find delicious food from other nations around the U.S.A. Another important and amazing gift of studying in another country is that my vision of the world has changed. I do not only want to learn a language, but now I dream of learning other idioms and making big projects in my life. Everything is new and exciting. I find something new that surprises me every single day.
Along with these exciting experiences, I have also encountered some strange experiences. For example, I went with my Chinese friends to a typical Chinese restaurant, Hot Pot, and we ate some delicious food that I never ever thought that I would taste like frog legs, Peking roasted duck, Pinshang hot pot, and others. In addition, American culture is confusing but interesting because it is a country that was built on the dreams of people that wanted to live in a better place. For example, this president elections system is different to my own country and others, Also, each state has their particular laws, and that it is interesting.
I believe that it has made The United States a strong country. I can say studying abroad is the best decision that I could have made in my entire life.
