We're lucky to have free education here in Scotland, but darned if the authority that administrates it isn't the most irritating, obnoxious institution to deal with. :'D I hate you, SAAS~
Noony! :3
100% Free? Even the books? :!!!:Quote:

No, we pay for books. ^^;;; Though if you're from a very poor family, you can get help with that too.Quote:

Portugal, the country of paradoxes, I guess... >.>
It's the same here. ^_^ The higher you go in education, the more scholarships become available. Back in school? Good luck getting help with anything. :'DQuote:

My brother wants to go to Japan too, although he is also considering China... :sweat:Quote:

Seems you can buy books there cheaper than fruit, and fresh fruit can be really expensive. ^^;;;
(But I still hope that, if he has to go one day, he chooses Japan. :'D)
Tokyo is written with the same Kanji as Kyoto, right? But with the order switched? :!!!:
Yeah, vegetables are okay, but fruit is super-expensive in certain areas of Japan. D: Bad news for vegetarians like me. ^^;;;Quote:

I think I'll probably just go to South Korea, though, as I have lots of friends there and I'm kind of studying Korean. ^^;;; I'm super-jealous that your brother gets to study both Chinese and Japanese. I wanted to do a joint degree in them, but it was too difficult to make it work~
Slightly different. ^^;;; The "kyou" is the same in both, but the to in Tokyo is actually a long "tou", meaning "East", while the one in Kyoto is short, and means "capital".
Wow, real vegetarian? That's great. ^_^Quote:

But I am seriously thinking in trying to become a vegetarian some day. :-3
And in Korea you can manage by yourself with only Hangul, right? I mean, the usually don't use Hanja, do they? :!!!:Quote:

What's New today?
*yes I will parade it around for all to see*
I was the same, really. ^_^ I grew up with my cousins who were all vegetarians, so I never really developed a taste for meat. I'm kind of an accidental vegetarian. ^^;;;Quote:
