Most East Asian students have an atheistic worldview and seldom spend time thinking about religion or the meaning of life beyond their current educational path and future careers. Rapid economic growth has led to a thriving middle class and an influx in access to technology, gaming, and all the modern conveniences of life in the big city.
While on the surface many students will share they lack nothing, deep down there is a gaping hole longing for meaning and purpose. The city draws people from all areas of the country and accordingly, you may also have the opportunity to interact with students from one of the many highly unreached ethnic minority groups of East Asia. Here, you experience ancient civilization and culture blended into the bustling and technologically advanced megacity lifestyle. Explore the city on an endless network of subway lines, practice your chopstick skills over lunch with a student, and drink Boba or traditional green tea with your friends. You truly never know what you may find in this city!
