Culture shock International students adjust to an American lifestyle By Monica Girard International history has been made on campus! Yes, the 110 international students representing thirty different countries set a new record for the university. When over 50 Turkish students joined the community to help boost the numbers, the international population on campus hit an all time high. International students on campus have many different reasons for coming to Alabama, one being sports. This is what attracted Mark Jonsson, a junior from Karlsham, Sweden, who plays on the tennis team. I like to play and study at the same time, Jonsson said. Jennifer Imanuel from Amsterdam, Holland, plays for the basketball team. She said the combination of sports and school is an advantage. The school is at an advantage also because these students keep score ilu Holland] a pair of Levies is $75. -Jennifer Imanuel books with high numbers. Since the arrival of the international stu- dent community, ICUNA, the International Club of the University of North Alabama, had been formed. The students participate in activities such as Homecoming and International Awareness Week. The wonderful aspect of the students is the different cultur es represented. Their presence heightens our awareness of the world around us. Logen Dra Ponniah from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, said that his coun- try grows the largest flower in the world which can r.each the size of a car. Also, authorities in Malaysia hang drug sellers, diminishing the drug problem in Malaysia. Tong Fu, a senior from Beijing, China, explained that in China they have a Chinese Spring Festival. It is the largest festival in China, she said. It is an opportunity for family members to gather together waiting the beginning of the lunar calendar, eat Chinese dumplings, and welcome the new year with fireworks. Siu Ngo Lam, a sophomore from Hong Kong whose American name is Florence, said her country is known as a shopping paradise. All of the different products sold in the country are duty free. Jennifer Imanuel said that Holland is known for grow ing tulips and for having the largest port in the world in Rotterdam, Holland. She pointed out that marijuana and prostitution are legal in her countr and there is no drinking age. She also sale that clothes are more expensive ir Holland- A pair of Levi ' s is $75. Patience Gana, a sophomore fronr Bamenda, Cameroon, lives where thousand ' of dialects are spoken. Gana speak- Mungaka, which belongs to the Bali trib( and is one of the few dialects that has beer written and has its own Bible. Farhan Hasanali, a freshman fron Karachi, Pakistan, said students from hi country go to school six days a week including Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m Students enter college at the age of 16 anc the school system teaches eleven subjects a a time, and all finals are given on the sam day. (That is a scary thought!) One mor piece of interesting information is that hus bands are allowed to cheat on their wive but a husband has the right to kill his wife she cheats on him. Just a glimpse of another culture teache Americans what we have to be thankful fc and what motivations we need to make i the people of our society.
