yeah it is good here in NUS, and quite cheap too compared to the american unis, I was planning to work here for some time(to clear my loan) and go back to India, I don't think I could ever settle here without hurting my consious, I am a bit too patriotic for my own good
. Because if i settle down here, it would mean I have accepted that India is no good and we indians are useless who can't make their country better so we emigrate to other countries. afterall...
" what man is a man if he does'nt make his land better"
You know what, I think Indians only look like middle easterners, but I think that is where the similarity ends, we have nothing in common with them.I believe India and east(&south east) asia are very similar culturally. This stress on education, respecting others religion, lack of expansionist tendencies, respect for elders, minding your own business whereever you go, working hard to come up the economic ladder(don't you think they sound quite east asian?).No wonder you don't have many religions and ethnic problems eh? because asians just mind their business.I don't consider middle east as asian mind you.
"you are the rare gem that appreciates east asian subculture"
Most Indians are simply not aware of east asia that is the main problem as i have mentioned in one of the thread Indians having looking towards the west for the last 400years, but we had the strongest cultural ties for the last 3000years with east asia not europe. That said I would be kidding if I said Indians don't respect east asians and their culture . Countries like japan, korea, singapore, malaysia etc are looked upon very highly here. Ofcourse China gets the special mention, they are rivals are'nt they
(mind you not enemies but just rivals!).
