 ==== What institutional of American/Vegas cultural insight did you learn this week? ====
-Today, through the Buddy Program, I heard something that really surprised me. Some of my new friends pay around three thousand dollars a month for rent. In Korea, if you live alone, five hundred dollars is usually enough, so I couldn’t believe how expensive it is here. Of course, houses are generally bigger, but still, it feels like way too much for someone just starting out.

 I asked one of them how they manage to afford it, and they told me they have three jobs. They also said that because rent is so expensive, many people try to stay with their parents until they reach twenty-five or older. It really made me realize how different things are here. Being financially independent seems so much harder in the United States!
