"Not entitled to foreigners"

I just saw how much I have to pay for my Japan trip today. It was $600 more than what locals had to pay. Well, that's not a lot more, althought relatively it is. However, I do wonder why there isn't any internal subsidy. Some malaysian scholar had to pay $5000 for his math camp at cambridge, and according to insider's information there was internal subsidy for locals, if any of them went. But I doubt so. I mean, they are the people that actually win stuff for the school, compared to msot of the school population, but just not entitled to the same stuff. Weird eh? Well, I think the school probably thinks that the boarding school fees are already a great investment on them. $600+ of school fees + $800 boarding school fees per month isn't a small sum. Then, it comes to people like PRs, the only thing I get is the $400 govt subsidy for school fees. I had to pay full sum for my OBS trip aka half Singapore propaganda. Well, personally I don't think that it's a great deal because I'm not the one paying, and this kinda subsidies only exist in Singapore. My cousin also paid full sum of 38000RMB for her trip to UK, (Nice scamming of foreigners' money) which was only 11 days long. Which was more ex. I think, compared to the one-month US math camp which my classmate went. So paying full sum is like no gain rather than a loss. Well, my mom's more worried about my safety, 'cos the recent Sino-Jap relationship is a bit screwed, but I think the situation would die down in 2 month's time. Even the USA's govt's efforts to raise the RMB isn't receiving a lot of attention now despite the authorities being very noisy.

Back to the point, I seriously don't get why the JC practises this kinda discrimination aganist foreigners. Maybe there is a lack of foreign teachers or sth. But I still thank the school for giving me this kinda opportunity, not everyone gets to pay this $1200 for a trip you know.
