A native Chinese under an elite American education system:
Speaking in the class
my Chinese thinking: respect what professors say
my American thinking: challenge what professors say
Working with partners
my Chinese thinking: try to get along with first even he doesn't perform well
my American thinking: fire him when he doesn't perform well
Meeting with new people
my Chinese thinking: talk and chill first
my American thinking: let's talk about business
Going to a party
my Chinese thinking: have to go because the host came to my party last time
my American thinking: i am busy and don't really want to go
and there are more........
