I learnt this word in Canada since it is so useful. Sometimes, I love this word, just as I love being a Chinese in Canada; sometimes, I hate it, just as I have been hating being a foreigner ever since I was very young.
Awkward… It is awkward why Canadian girls would always carry those heavy cases, while Chinese girls would only wait a guy to do it for them?
It is also awkward why all those Canadian film students like zombie films, while Chinese film students are always talking about European art cinema? Aren’t you guys all fans of Ingmar Bergman instead of Spielbergman, even though none of us could understand the former’s late films?
It is awkward why your mom and dad never pay your tuition nor your clothes nor your grocery nor be a little nice to provide you a place at home to stay?
It is awkward why Americans show episode once a week, while some Chinese shows are shown 7 episodes a day?
Oh… awkward, why I can’t call my professor Mike, since he once said he would prefer people call him Mike, instead of professor Menegeti… Mfenhigetti… Megnigiti… oh your family names are also awkward… that’s why I would still like calling my professor Mike.
en… awkward… why am i also get paid for my meetings? Chinese people never consider meeting as a part of work, and I think that’s why Chinese employers only bullshit on meetings and the employees would just fall asleep.
It is awkward why you guys date even you are not couple. If you are not couple how can you date? If you don’t date, how can you become couple? In China, only couples date.
And why all you girls would dress as an athlete during the day time and as hookers during the night… oh, no offense… I like Canadian girls…
It is awkward why people don’t work in holidays, especially for malls? Doesn’t holiday mean shopping day?
It is awkward why you Americans have so many opinions on everything, sometimes, I would prefer a shut up…
And why you guys rely on science or technique that much… Tips from Chinese: drinking hot water can cure cold; you don’t eat water melon when you are suffering from a diarrhea; after a surgery, you don’t eat fresh sea food, just incase you don’t know it, nor drink!
It is too awkward, why people should always laugh while watching a movie, even though it is not supposed to be laughed at all…
Awkward… why do I need a license for fishing~?!
Also, it is so awkward to say:
I am only child at my family…
My parents pay for my everything…
I live with an old lady instead of in a student house…
I have no problem with working at weekends…
I don’t drink coffee…
Eating too much bread will make me sick…
I use pop for cooking…
I don’t like hip-hop…
I don’t like dogs, nor cats, nor rats, nor any pets…
I can’t swim…
What is zombie?
