Where to Study Chinese, Beijing or Shanghai? Hi, I was just browsing the web cause I'm looking for info for a school research project. I'm writing a paper on Chinese education and I stumbled on this site and I'm very glad that I did! I was a PRC Study student and I must say I had a fabulous experience with them. I'm from Miami, USA and I stumbled upon PRC Study through the internet. At first I wasn't sure whether I should join a program with them. Well, cause I had never met or talked to them before. Then my dad suggested that I give them a call to see if they were a real company and what not. I must say I was really impressed with their level of service. Not only do the staff speaking English well, they also have staff who speak other languages -- which is cool cause I ended learning a few words in spanish, korean, and french ... among other but which I sadly couldn't grasp! After talking with them, we then corresponded through regular emails. They always responded in detail and in lightening speed! I gotta say they made me feel really safe and secure and they were very well informed about anything and everything I wanted to know about China. I went through PRC Study to go to Tsinghua University to study for 1 semester. It was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had. As soon as I arrived in China, Victor, the student coordinator and all the program consultants looked after me well. I felt instantanously at home. The classes at Tsinghua were also really good, but the classes were a bit large ... we had like 15 students. Talking to students who studied at the PRC Academy, I think I would have preferred the smaller classes more. And the great thing which helped me improve my Chinese was all the social activities organized by PRC Study where they were always Chinese students there where I could speak Chinese with. You all really also have to join the prc language exchange program. It's such a hoot. They really teach you alot of Chinese there that you just don't learn in class. And the after class tutoring lessons were fantastic. The teachers are really professional and super knowledgable and really helped me correct my mistakes. Last but not least were all the partying that we did. I honestly had a blast! Anyway, I didn't choose homestay, but I have heard from other students that they too had a wonderful experience like the person above. I choose to stay at the student flats. It was ok, the place was really quite nice, but I felt it was just a little far from Tsinghua University. Actually it was only about 2.5 blocks away, but the blocks are super long in China! It felt like a mile or two away. To close, I'd suggest PRC Study ... their website is www.prcstudy.com. Now ... if anyone has any info you can share with me about the education system in China, please drop me an email. I'm writing about differences between US and China's university education system. |

"The Right to Refuse Service to Anyone" As another answer mentioned, this kind of sign has a history. Up until the 1964 Civil Rights Act businesses were free to discriminate against blacks, American Indians, and other minorities by refusing to serve them or allow them to sit indoors. Before the Act passed many business owners argued that businesses were private property and the government had no right or authority to set rules for them. Passage of the Civil Rights Act made discrimination in businesses illegal but throughout the South many stores and restaurants put up these "we reserve the right" signs to show their defiance of the law. These signs are particularly associated with Lester Maddox, who was elected governor of Georgia after becoming a celebrity for being "forced" to sell his restaurant when he refused to serve blacks. Today I don't know if these signs have the same intention. Some businesses probably put them up just to be able to turn away rowdy customers. I would be interested to know how African-Americans respond when they see these signs and if they think there is a hidden message implied. |

2SIMPLE - Clearly Cheating 中国人能写出这样的英文,还算不错,就是有个错别字,不知owner自己能否发现?所谓入乡随俗,在中国的大家小巷,老外s兴致勃勃地挑选盗光盘也不在少数,前天在香港过街时,傻等了3分钟的红灯,而周围的老外们(中东人,美国人,欧洲人,非洲人)看见没有车就纷纷而过,哪管红灯,所以这种类型的breaking rule 其实是没有国界的,所以大可必将这个问题升华到一个国家这么高的层面,一棍子打死一屋子的人... |
