Are you guys mostly Americans??

weltall2006 · 03-04-2006, 10:32 AM

I'm planning to go to USA this year, probably around Alabama. Maybe Birmingham or Alabaster. I'm 26 Asian and I'm planning to take my Master's degree for around 2 years.

So, I'm wondering if you guys are americans, and if any of you guys live around my area. I would love to get to know you and talk about stuffs, including computers. Especially that I'm planning to build my own Desktop and I'm kinda of a newb with computers.

there's two people from New Zealand, can't remember who offhand

weltall2006 · 03-04-2006, 06:35 PM

New Zealand huh? My sister used to study there. She told me she loved it.

Like I said, I'm planning to go to USA this year. But I don't really have lots of experience with westerners. I have been around Asia though. I had my Primary school in Indonesia, then Secondary education in S'pore. I stayed in Beijing for 5 years for my Bachelor's degree. Then lived in Mongolia for a year. Right now, I'm really interested in trying USA. I heard it's really nice to study there. But I have my worries, since I never had any western buddies (except my college professor).
