About

"Aiya!" is a a Chinese interjection meaning surprise or disappointment.

Aiya! Moments is a blog I created for a communication course in which I am currently enrolled. I thought it would be interesting to share with you about the hilarious interactions I encountered in America. Meanwhile, I will also write about some tips and advice based on my experience to international students abroad.
With Aiya! Moments, I hope to make you smile (or laugh) as well as trigger you to pay attention to details you did not notice before.
