I think you are doing a very meaningful job, setting up bridges across america and other countries. Such exchanges of every kind are very important for people in different countries. The more such exchanges take place, the more understandings will be achieved, and less misunderstandings and biases will arise. Then we have really world citizens.

For historic reasons and cultural similarity, these exchanges between europe and america were, have been and are intensive. But such exchanges between West and East, say, China, have happended only in limited scopes. So many people both in West and in China don't have the real pictures about each other, as its result many misunderstandings occur. This thought is being confirmed constantly, when I read posters on this forum. But what at least seems give us big hope is that modern technologies of comminications make it possible for peoples in west and east to discuss together, to exchange opinoins and ideas together, like we are doing on this forum.
