Biggest Cultural Shock

My biggest shock was seeing that students are actually allowed to eat in class. My first day into this Canadian high school (that was three years ago, when I had just arrived in Canada), I was in my Math class and everybody in the room was waiting for the teacher. And boy did they look smart. Anyways, we were waiting and this khaire dude takes a ziplock bag, opens it up, and starts munching on a burger. I was staring at him and was completely shocked. I am a Galaxian for those who have heard of that infamous school in Kathmandu. there, if one person was seen with a Wai Wai, that person would have to crumple it up, open the packet carefully and pass it around the entire row where the boys would sit without letting the teacher know. Otherwise he'd be told on..heheheheheh So coming from that scenario..it was a huge shock for me...o and I had never seen tank tops or tube tops or halter tops or whatever on girls.....so for the first week....my hormones were flowing baby!!!!!!
