LIVE IN USA, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Mexican music can be heard in the distance. I am with my family, and on the table are set a plate with fried tortillas, lemons and sauce. I can almost feel that I am in Mexico, but I am not.

I am a foreigner in United States of America. I don't know if word "foreigner" can be used here, such as it is used out side this country. I don't feel me foreigner. When I walk on the streets, I don't feel different from people from here. I feel a strange sensation, as if I could smell freedom.

Here the people have developed a practical national personality. This is good and bad. It can be a very useful tool for business, because “Nothing is personal.” But  I believe that this causes to avoid us to feel deep emotions in many occasions.

In America, you can see a different way to solve problems. People here are creating new tools all time. They are trying to make their lifes easier and faster. However, sometimes, if you concentrated just on a chore, you could forget to enjoy and live life.

Finally, while I wait for my food, I keep Mexico in mind. I remember how was my life was before I came here, and I see how it is now.  One part of me still is the same, but anotherone has changed. Then, I ask myself, Where do I belong? Who am I?

Well, while I discover the answer, I start to eat my delicious food. And, for now, I only enjoy.
