I had never anticipated going to Asia this much before; the weather is atrocious, walking great lengths is a necessity, and the driving just terrifies me. However, I had a vague notion that this summer would be like no other. Little did I suspect that I would be reborn overseas in a culture strikingly distinct from America’s.
