CAC is located in Egypt. This is just one of the many high schools that are a failed experiment in preparing young people for the adult world. The crappy insulation has all fagged out and the building becomes an oven or a meat locker. The plumbing is usually a disaster in high school, with drinking fountains never working but toilets that never stop running. It's run poorly by a team of out of touch assholes who people seem hell bent on destroying all hope for students through tedious testing and poorly planned projects. It's also the place where the stress of growing up and the stress of fitting in join forces to destroy even the strongest among us. Most of High school is not spent learning but involves trying to find friends who aren't complete douche bags, trying hook up with people of the opposite sex unsuccessfully, combing your hair, buying cloths in the effort that someone will notice you, trying desperately to get rid of the zits that have taken over your face, or riding on an over crowed bus while choking on diesel fumes while people you don't know make fun of you. Not to mention the crappy food selection. There are only two equally shitty options: Jared's Bagels, and Cilantro. Cilantros is thought to be some fancy ass place, when all it really is, is processed factory-made sandwiches at outrageously high prices. Jared's is if you want a quick, cheap heart attack during passing periods. And on top of all of that, you must act like nothing is wrong in your life.
In the end, it's a pretty decent place. I'd just rather have no high school than any high school. Cairo American College is what you make of it.

Shanghai American School = SAS = Stressed Asian School. That's all you need to know.
Has two campuses, Pudong is in a golf course with legit 0 stores for takeout in the 3k diameter, Puxi right across from a semi-dead mall with crappy entertainment but somehow parents still complain.
Teachers are getting worse, and your GPA really depends on your good luck in getting the right teacher. The school has a good record of sending kids to good colleges but that's more because of the parents than the teachers. But don't worry, if you are like me who has a shitty GPA below a 3.3, be assured that people with GPA lower than you from SAS got into colleges. Like Community College of Detroit.:)
Somehow this group of guys who binges on youtube in class and goes drinking weekly still have a 4.0. Maybe Asian moms.
Students have a weird pride that SAS is better than all the other international schools in Shanghai. They are not wrong.:)
A person from SMIC: "SMIC is a really good school."
A person from BISS: "BISS is a really good school."
A person from Concordia: "Concordia is a really good school."
A person from SAS: "Shanghai American School is the worst school ever!"

March 14th. It's American Pi Day because of the way dates are written in in the American style, with the month preceding the day. In countries that write the day preceding the month, Pi Day is more properly celebrated on 22nd of July.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14th. He had to move to America in the 1930s in order to take advantage of it being American Pi Day there.

A basketball league that existed from 1967 through 1976 until eventually merging with the National Basketball Association or NBA. The American Basketball Association is where the three point shot and slam dunk contest began. Dr. J, Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, Dan Issel and other great players played in the ABA for teams such as the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, New York Nets, Kentucky Colonels, Virginia Squires, Utah Stars, Spirits of St. Louis, San Diego Conquistadors, Oakland Oaks and others. The afro hairstyle was very common in the ABA. The ABA used a red, white and blue ball. Teams from the ABA and NBA played several games against each other and the ABA teams usually won those games. The ABA ceased to exist when it merged with the NBA in 1976.
The American Basketball Association was cooler, and featured better basketball, than the NBA and even college basketball.
