the modern fob.
instead of being fresh off the boat, these people are fresh off the AIRPLANE.

(pronounced like foe-uh)
before the airplane was invented, asian immigrants landed in america on boats. hence, they were called fobs.

but after the airplane was invented, asian immigrants were now able to land in america on airplanes like continental airlines and air china. hence, the term FOA was born.

Get the FOA mug.
International school in Shanghai notoriously known for being ghetto and small. Walls fall apart, desks and chairs are vandalized and destroyed by students, many facilities are third world, and lunch doesn't even qualify for fourth-world. Yet students still make the best out of it and have an awesome time. You can call each grade "one big happy family" since everybody knows each other and it's not as clique-y as most high schools are. But then again, people are split into the "fobby, chinese speaking people" and the "american, english speaking people"

Class of 2013 was the last athletic class of the school. Instead of basketball, volleyball, and all the other generally awesome sports, the classes of 2014 and beyond invest their time in ping pong, tag, and capture the flag

Students do not portray the typical stereotypes of average high schools. People can be dopplegangers of themselves; at one point they'll be a nerd and then afterschool they'll be one of the best players on a varsity team. While dating does happen, it’s rarer than a vegetarian lion. Racism runs rampant, though mainly cause of the 99.99% Asian population. With almost no white, black, brown, or (insert color) people, students are free to joke about other races at their leisure. On that note, pretty much everyone speaks fluent Chinese (except this freckled girl)

The school mascot is the shark. SMIC's awesome. Don't let anyone ever tell you different. Those people are just losers without school spirit.
There was this legendary asian guy who went to The SMIC Private School, who unfortunately had to leave after his freshman year.
