Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk and other stories from David Sedaris ( Adult 18+) 

The Squirrel and the Chipmunk (Adult 18+)

Although I'm from the UK, I lived in China for 15 years, teach a large number of Chinese students, and even have a Chinese girlfriend. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts on the main differences I've noticed between the two cultures. These affect the way we approach education, the way we interact with our friends, and even how we eat our food and choose what to wear.
So what do you think? Do you agree with me? Are there any other differences that you've noticed? I'd love to read your comments.
