East vs. West

As the season of finals broods over, it is yet another perfect time to blog (and travel, apparently).


The West is indeed much more relaxed than the East. Take America, for example. They say Californians are more chill and are even connoted lazy as compared to those in New York.  China also follows the trend.  All the developed cities are in the East, characterizing those in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong (cringing while I include this under China) as financially greedy, success-driven, motivated by modernity. A short trip to Western Australia this past weekend further solidified my notion on East vs. West.



Finally finished reading East of Eden, an infinitely-paged inspirational novel a good friend lent me.
