Back in America

 Wow how different the world is, once we step foot in an american airport you could feel the difference. People in New York are so moody and only think about themselves. You could smell the air is so different not fresh. Also how people walked so fast to get somewhere not caring what was around them. Advertisements for perfume, cars, clothes, beer, liquor,homes and etc. I could keep going. Back in africa the only advertisements you seen were of beer and seasoning for food. What a difference. I miss Africa so much. I still cant believe i was really there. Its still like a dream and i haven't got up yet. Every time i think back to them i feel so sad for leaving them the way we did. I find myself talking about africa to everyone that come to visit me. I tell them what they call foreigners is muzugu's if Im spelling that right. Its so funny because we thought that it was something bad at first until we found out what it means.  They treat us muzugu's so well. I remember we went to a concert and they put us in front row seats. They actually kicked people of there seats so that we could get the front. Here in america is everyone for themselves no one care and i also believe we didn't even have to pay to enter the concert. They made us feel like we were one of them. We lived the true african experience because we took there buses and went to places tourist wouldn't go to, we got to see the true life. I will never forget them and i know they will never forget us because they already emailed us trying to find out how was our trip. These people are so caring it buts americans to shame. They are rich in there own ways they are rich because they have a good heart and are rich in life. They never look back at the bad things they have gone through. If something like that would have happened here people would have broke down. Thats why i admire all of them for surviving and still trying to achieve there goals. They changed my life , I owe them my life for opening up my eyes to what life really is. Well its early i couldn't sleep had to get my thoughts out so speak to you guys another day.
