RE: Doing science in a developing country: my 2 month internship in Malaysia
Fascinating and beautifully written!
The thing I love about countries that aren't Australia and western/central Europe (and presumably the US, Canada and Japan, but I've never been to those places), is that things aren't so rigorous and by the book. I love the fact that everyone lives their lives with a slight lack of control. I think it connects people a lot more, not just with each other, but with life itself.
Thanks. Yes, that's a good insight. And (perhaps because of this lack of control) they don't take things too seriously. If something goes wrong or mistakes are made, they just adapt and find a way to keep going instead of freaking out. They have a sort of 'take life as it comes' attitude, and I think most of us in the faster moving developed world could learn from that.
You hit the Curie vote trail! Congrats!
I noticed my reputation had suddenly jumped up a few points and realized something big must have happened! Quite exciting!
