If you only use drugs, its 6 month penalty but you need to prove you were not involved in drug sales or storage.

If you are living in a normal life you never get access to drugs. I always in school and then I go to work, it is a normal path in my age. You will never access people who use or sell drugs.
Cultural difference is one thing. If it was legal in China,  people are still against it. In Chinese culture. People should work hard. The harder the better and smoking pot definitely is against that value. So for me at least I would say no. What he did will definitely impact my view toward Tesla.

I will state all the bad effects from smoking weed and if she is my daughter I would fly to America and talk to her very seriously.
Drinking alcohol during dinners or when you are in a pub is ok. It can help get more relaxed atmosphere but get drunk too often or you are an alcoholic it is not feasible to me.

They want to show that the people from different religions can be friendly to each other. We don’t need to fight. Of course we have our differences but we can still be friends because we are all human beings.
Especially in cities like Shanghai, most people don’t believe in any religion. So it is difficult if you want to make religious friends. I think the biggest religion in China is Buddhism. and you won’t tell wether someone believes in buddhism or not, their life re quite same to you.
When I went to Malaysia that was the first time seeing girls wearing the scarf because it is very hot there. I can’t imagine that in such a hot weather. I am actually shocked.
