I experienced it in New York for 5 years (1982-1987) and I totally agree every word she has said. Working hours is between 11-13 hours. You have no time for other activities. On your off day, you have to do laundry and clean your room ( I rented a room for US450). You can only take away some fast food or chinese food and you have to walk about 45 mins to reach the nearest shophouses. If you are not the spendthrift one, you may be able to save up enough to start a family in your own country.
