The Globalization Effect



A little background first.. I go to a large university with a very diverse student body.. Its fairly well known, and its popularity is only growing. With that said we have about 4- 5 campuses all at one site and each one you can pretty much find a dominant nationality, race, or look of the campus.. Although I live on campus I don't live on campus per se.. I live in off campus housing but close enough where I sometimes still get wireless from campus.. But in telling this story you must realize that the campuses although are all under one umbrella are pretty spread apart and each one has its own center and what not.. As a middle eastern studies/poli sci/ philosophy major minor whatever.. I dont have many classes on my home campus and must go about 15 minutes away for classes and usually I attempt to go home in between classes I find it easier to just wait some classes out with lunch and what not at one of the student centers.. So one day I decide to eat sushi at a campus that is rumored to be dominant with the Asian Persuasion.. See im one of those guys that loves sushi but my chopstix game is not very on point... in fact i truly believe my fingers are too crooked/dumb.. to ever do it properly.. but i refuse to use my hands or stab things like a caveman.. so I always wholeheartedly try to use them because I really want to learn how.. So while sitting there with my ish not really realizing that there are people around me the sushi chopstix debacle begins where it takes 40 minutes to eat a roll of spicy tuna.. this usually only happens in the confines of my own home in front on no1 so im not really paying attention.. but at one point my headphones die and i hear constant giggling..(at this point I just dropped the same piece about 4 times in the soy sauce thing and made quite a mess) I look to the left and there is a group of about 10 kids just laughing as they use chopstix to eat rice.. they even took the time to pick rice up and show me they could eat rice with chopstix.. ok.. I get that at some point I should revert back to a fork.. but honestly im practicing in case someone i need to impress likes sushi and wants me to eat with them.. but the rice thing has discouraged me.. I sit at home and try all the time and fail miserably.. sometimes i can get like thee scoops and then Im done.. I now have this undying need to figure them out.. and it has made me regress.. im even worse now.. whatever .. i know its wrong to say this but i hate that whole table of people.. anyway later homes
