I don't particularly feel like rebelling against the system I'm in, because I know how to use it to my advantage.

I mean, I will graduate without any student debt, I went to Hong Kong for €200, I did the calculations yesterday and for my whole adventure here in Canada i break even. Including food and rent. I know how to get where I want, I know how to get into the right groups of people. If everything goes according to my plan I'll be in China again next year at an organizations expense.

I think part of it is that I'm just lucky. If I'd be $100k in debt it'd be an entirely different story, but I'm pretty happy with this system.
