to simonqu:
hey, there. the only thing i agree with ur words is "different person from different background and in different situation gets different experience." i don't wanna argue with u. just follow ur summarization and speak out what i am thinking.
u said we lack of suffient language. but think it. why so many foreign architects could bring china so many good designs when they just landed in china and even didn't know chinese? design ability is first important, isn't it? though good language skill can help u express ur design concept clearer and get u closer to clients sometimes.
how to improve design ability? if studying in mcgill , or any other school is just for a license, don't do it. i knew an over 50 years old landscape architect.he told me that he was still exciting for his work everyday from his study till now, which impress me strongly. i don't know what anyone else will be, but that is what i want to be. find an aim for urself, whatever it is short term or long term. do it, enjoy it and enjoy life, if u really like architecture.
back to language skill. if u r concerned u r not good enough about ur tongue, learn it harder and harder till u get urself satistied.
about social net. we didn't have born social net even when we were in china. so called social net also depends on how deeply we merge into that society. same thing here. no pain no gain. if we think our language is not as good as those white and thereby afraid to communicate with others, how can we adapt canadian society and how could we get social net?
