Would you live with a foreign roommate? I have a dilemma...

i think you should go for it dude. i mean, the asian cowboy is stereotypical and we should work as hard as we can to stop any more of them being made :thumbsup: he probably likes country because he doesn't know any good american music and country is about as simple as it gets in format and language so its easy for foreigners(hey, make him listen to foreigner) to pick up.

im sure you can get him to start liking american beer. and im sure he can help you with some homework, thoes asians work damn hard.

and its better then having some lardass cramping your style.

edit: start listening to some morning muse or whatever their called :D im sure he'll be surpised. plus i bet he knows some sweet kungfu movies and could even translate for you.

He is straight from China and he likes country music? What a weird combination...he'll probably try to be 'super-American' and wear a cowboy hat and all of that stuff.

This guy is probably awesome. Room with him.

brainwash him so that he will go back to China and spread the goodness that is capitalism to take down that evil communism.

just kidding.
it's a positive life experience. just feel sorry for those people who are content (and have no desire) with living their lives the same every day.

Personally, during my college orientation (2 days), I stayed with a Chinese guy (BTW, I'm Chinese, or Taiwanese to be more specific, myself) that had trouble with English (I think he knew what he was saying but his accent made it impossible to understand him). I had a really tough time communicating with him, and I felt like having him as a roommate would be next to impossible for me. Anyway, if you think you can deal with it, or don't plan on having conversations a lot anyway, then go for it. He'll probably get better at English during his stay anyway, and you better at understanding his English, so it may work itself out after a little while.
