That's exactly the same with me, about being the only Chinese (Honkie, to be exact) in high school* and I don't associate with many Chinese people in university**... not that I have anything against them, of course.
* Well, there were two others who came to my high school as international students during year twelve. I was somewhat disappointed because I was unique anymore.
** Of the ones I do associate with, they only speak Mandarin (with more often than not, broken English)
and not Cantonese.
And I'm a TVBJ addict. I don't even know what's going on in the popular Western channels anymore, which is pretty good because from what I gather, it sounds like everyone needs an escape from the reality shows they keep thrusting at you.
