On Culture Shock Pt. 2

I often find myself feeling unpatriotic when I either go on a rant about how I love Japan, and how America is kinda..eh. ya know. Im sure that my indifferent attitude towards the homeland will change somewhere down the road. So I got to say that America isnt bad, but I like Japan better. There are aspects of America that I absolutly love, and there are aspects of Japan that I love just the same. Only at this point Japans pros really outweigh the cons as opposed to America. I bet the Rotary higher-ups who tried to scare us, upon reading this will probably will feel a sense of victory, in their `infinite wisdom`. C`mon guys you people really don`t thing that even though we`re young, we can`t cope or roll with dramatic change, and therefore trying to bring us down right before we go as opposed to when we get there. Though that strategy sounds good in theory, but we are smart enough to know there will be bumps in the road and there are often much softer bumps in the road than the Rotary and through their `infinite wisdom` try to prepare us for. Its like suffocating us in saftey gear and telling us we are going to crash hard only to find out it wasnt a crash coming after all, one becomes a little pissed at those who seem to `protect us`, let us crash and burn, we learn! Even though Rotary does an admirable thing trying to prepare us for the `worst case scenario` but you gotta think your only making the nervous much more nervous, so please guys, enough with the horror stories.
