Xiaoqing: What are your plans after graduation?
Xiaohua: I am planning to go on a working holiday for a year. How about you?
Xiaoqing: Fortunately, I have already been accepted into graduate school. I heard that it’s difficult to find a job now, and “graduation means unemployment!”
Xiaohua: Yeah, that’s true. So people either try to find a way to delay graduation or continue their studies in graduate school.
Xiaoqing: But then again, whether we continue studying or take a working holiday for now, eventually we’ll still have to face the music. It looks like we need to work harder!

Stuenkel’s compact Leica is the perfect camera for the job, the 51-year-old told AFP.
