>would be?

i know ppl who upon reaching NY burst out into tears. :) also i know 2 many ppl whose intention it was to work for a little while, make some money and return home, and 20 years later they're here, still, stuck. on the other hand i've seen some ppl "do very well" here.

u must admit tho' visiting a place and living in it are 2 different things. one of the great things about living in the U.S. (yes! that's me talking, i said great and U.S. in the same sentence,not 4 u in particular AFKAP) is the fact that so many ppl come here, so in one place i can meet the world and here, there's tons and tons of info. the Internet is making it so that that's the case everywhere. i think there's an advantage of there being a place like the U.S. and running a developing country. the U.S. goes so quickly, by the time u get to point where u can implement some nu technology that they've come up w/ they've begun to experience all the side effects of it. giving u time to change your mind. i c the U.S. as a guinea pig for the rest of the world. i encourage ppl in developing countries to watch the U.S. esp. when it comes to technology and wait a little b4 deciding whether or not u want to implement it.
wow, that was an aside.


back 2 u AFKAP_O_D, how will u relieve yourself of your guilt?
