-- Posted by Lewdness at 8:59 pm on July 3, 2009 We're thinking of making a t-shirt with Mao Zedong's face on it or, like, a shirt that says "Democracy loves you" .... just something playful and good-natured. (Someone suggested making a shirt with an arrow pointed to the side and right above it "I'm with a commie".. but that was a bit much). On some level, I think it's a good way to start things off; it's a good conversation starter and whatnot.. but, on another level I think it could get awkward if the new person takes it the wrong way. What do you guys think? Good? Bad? Have you ever had a foreign roommate?

-- Posted by drifting at 9:01 pm on July 3, 2009 I dont know, but I think your first objective should be to convince your new roommate that Asian people are responsible for the laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and thats just how its done in America.
