My life's checklist Ok, I've been all over the place for a long time now. It always amazes me how little time there is during the day for me to accomplish all the things I want. Just for fun, I'm going to use this as my journal. I hope somehow this will keep my mind focused on my goals. MY ASPIRATIONS and their progress: Job, semi-check Car; check!!! Make car more shiny; in progress Help parents; in progress Get super fit; in progress! Start a business; very little progress! Get better at effective work; in progress! Get better at approaching strangers; in progress! Don't lose my guitar skills; not doing good! Save money; not doing good! Go on a vacation; not doing good! . .. ... Learn mandarin;..... >_<

my REAL question (about Chinese culture), please click to see k, someone from this site said “奋斗” was a good show to watch to learn about Chinese culture. Fen Dou is about recent University graduates in Beijing. I assumed this was a good way to learn about "real Chinese people". But I'm confused now because some stuff in this show is really unrealistic, so please look at this and tell me if I'm right or wrong. I'm gonna show u: A (what happens in “奋斗） B (what I think would happen in CHINA in real life) C (what would happen in Canada in real life) And so the game is, please insert your own opinions into A and B, even C if u like. Especially B SCENE　1: A(what happens in “奋斗） -Handsome boy graduates, has a very cute, very loving GF. -BF meets another girl, who is the best friend of his GF -They talk for a bit, that girl has BF too -In a matter of 2 meetings, the boy leaves his GF for this new girl, the new girl leaves her BF too. They say they love each other after 1 night in the bedroom. -Original GF leaves the country, also leaves the show... (btw so what was the point of having her in the show in the first place lol) B(what I think would happen in CHINA in real life) - ??? C(what would happen in Canada in real life) - If girl #2 was way better than girl #1, MAYBE that would happen. - A boy at that age would not "love" someone so fast - Overall, doesn't make any sense to me, it makes the main characters (the boy & girl) very un-likable cus they cheated so fast. ＳＣＥＮＥ　2: A(what happens in “奋斗） -Cute girl says she doesn't need a BF, her best friend introduces her to a boy -Boy cooks her food, shows her some flowers, he asks her to marry him the first day they meet -Girl agrees to get married, they make plans, move in together -Later they get divorced b/c they don't get along B(what I think would happen in CHINA in real life) - ??? C(what would happen in Canada in real life) - That would never happen ＳＣＥＮＥ　3: A(what happens in “奋斗） -A mother cheats her daughter's friend for a LOT of ＄＄＄ -But her daughter doesn't expose her mother, even though she's mad, she can't disobey her mom -This continues to happen; money is traded for friendship - Again, makes people in the show even more unlikable B(what I think would happen in CHINA in real life) - I'm asking you guys C(what would happen in Canada in real life) - That would never happen between friends sorry for the length, but I want to know if this show is a waste of time or not cheers, -Pete

Would you marry a cute guy after the first time meeting him? seriously... k, someone from this site said “奋斗” was a good show to watch to learn about Chinese culture.
