him as a member, be it the beer-drinking Australians, the Mah-jong playing Asians or the pompous blazer-wearing… idiots. Ronny is caught between his old life and his new life, between the
international students and the local students, and between his mum’s expectations and his own dreams, whatever the hell they may be. #InternationalStudent
