After being here a few weeks


After being here a few weeks, I feel I am far away from other parts of the world whenever I have chances to talk to people.

My friend, Yoonjung, is in Korea now and complaining about how boring her work is after working at the same company for a while. She feels that there is not much learned or much achievement and she does not know what to do.

My classmates in the US worry about the tuition for the next year. And they say it is so miserable to be poor.

A Korean newspaper on the internet talks about the risk of having mad cow disease from imported beef from the US.

Everything must be so very important to you and you might feel terrible for your situation. But I feel like none of those issues is that big after being a Burkina this little while. All of us are too-happy people according to Laundry’s standard. We can have a job and get an education. We can also eat.
