Wolf Can Fly, Too

Umm...couldn't find a good topic category for this.

So just bare with it for now.

There is a fundamental difference between being in Champaign and being here, at least in terms of composition of fellowship. You see, in everyone in ICCF is, in a way, unattached. We are still in touch with our family, but they simply don't have as much influence on our life, and since most of us are from similar cultural background, we practically becomes like a family. I think that's one of the reason why there's a saying that people "soften up" when they are in Champaign, and were more acceptable to changes. You see more, feel more, and merge into the ways of thinking easier.

On the other hand, the fellowship here, or any where else where people ended up in, is different. Especially in small places like Singapore and Taiwan, or places where people rarely move around from one place to another. Churches here are, well, family oriented, even for the young adult small group. The effect of their parents are very visible, and when everyone in the group has other obligations, well, it become hard to form a tight group. At least, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, I guess that is the most un-Chinese characteristic you can find on me. I'm not saying that I am not a family-type person; I'm just too used to the freedom when I'm on my own.

Now, where's that plan about finding a job in Australia or Europe...
