My Observations from an ROV Competition in my Town.
Posted: June 29th, 2014, 3:53 pm
I have had a chance to watch several groups of students from across the world come to my town for a robotics competition. Here are my observations:
-With the exception of old people, most people don't really tend to give a rip
-Those who are travel and are well read (30%) of Americans seem to take cultural exchange and immersion seriously and ask question and when travelling learn the language.
-Those from the Chinese Islands (Macau/Hong Kong) seemed nicest, and actually knew the language (English). I talked with a Hawaiian girl and Macau guy and both seemed very cordial. There was one Chinese girl that did speak a little English when I offered her a food sample (I work in food sampling at walmart).
-Russians seemed interested in the apparel, Asians with the electronics and for the Asian girls the different foods (especially for what looked like Japanese).
-Asians seem to be more playful (I believe the ones I heard playing with the electric wheelchair were Japanese, and I believe there was a group of Chinese doing it too). Compared to US teens, they seemed to want innocent fun, not wanton mayhem. They are not as crazy in dress as a lot of Americans are turning to.
Just thought I would don my sociology hat for once
