- after reading your story and 雪的烟花's story, i begin to reflect whether i have changed too much by the US culture. in the US, I never borrow any money from friends. Only borrow money from banks or from my retirement funds. I may donate $20-$50 to friends as gift or for certain occasions but seldom more than that (except for organizations or events such as United Way or earthquake, in which case, usually donate $200-$500 and take tax deduction, too). On the other hand, if someone gave me any gift, especially cash, of more than $50, I would absolutely refuse/reject (of course, politely).
to LZ: you've got a valuable friendship that is difficult to find nowadays.

我那同学真的可好了，我后来想法弄她来美国，可她考不了托福，后来跟我的一个同事结婚了（是我来美国后两个人在帮助我的过程中认识的），生了个儿子，全家一起去了加拿大，好报吧？

- haha, you know you have contradiction! 好朋友是不会计较钱的。<--> 计较钱的不一定就不是好朋友
笙箫难默: 是一个有效的办法，好朋友是不会计较钱的。不过也分人，计较钱的不一定就不是好朋友，跟朋友生长的文化和家庭环境有关哈。
i'd like kinda summarize: in China, truly 好朋友是不会计较钱的. however, in the US, 计较钱的不一定就不是好朋友.
