it is a fair community. You are treated fairly and you treat others fairly. There is not as much as privilege like in china.
You are completly on your own.
In my case, at the begining, life was hard. but i got lots help and support from various people and quickly I gained confidence to live happily here.
As long as you have a target and keep working towards it, you will make it.
Life is in your hands.
That's the why I like here.
