Chinese, Americans not so different

By ANTHONY PAGLINO | Aug. 28, 2008

I recently returned from a summer studying Chinese in Beijing. It was an intense summer, to say the least, in a war zone of culture fought in the urban jungle that is Beijing. The language barrier was daunting, the food hard to digest and the cabbies had a death wish that Charles Bronson couldn't deliver on.
