It takes a while to get used to everything here but it's worth it to stick it out. Not only the prizes but the friends and connections you can make here and the stuff you can learn...

I run a community called Cross Culture, feel free to share anything about your hometown there. I also grew up in a diverse area which is why I had to leave my home country (USA) as soon as I graduated.

My GF would love the collared shirts you are wearing, did you design those too?
