Just another gem from Sonia’s blog:

I think that’s the thing I like about America most. Here, the sense of community is a lot more cohesive but no one gets a choice in the matter. The men have to be the providers so they have to study engineering or medicine, etc. The women are expected to be housewives so they can’t really work if they want to. And the kids have to study SO HARD, and that too, the subjects their parents want, not necessarily what they want. In the U.S. maybe the individualism is too pronounced at times, but I really appreciate the opportunity to decide who I am and how I function in the world.

There are others there, and I don’t even think she realizes most of them.
