prices for tuning in your country?

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

    Baoli, Thank your Lucky Stars. Working for the University of Wisconsin
at Madison, you should have absolutely no culture shock at all, in fact,
you'll probably feel right at home.
    Our cultures may be different philosophically, but in the end, you still
pay dearly for the things that you feel are important to your life.
