How different life is across the universe


At living in the country with high standard takes time of patience. Everything is new that you need to learn from the beginning. It doesn't matter how old you are and your standard status in your country origin. Things change here in abroad, "welcome to the real world" as friend of mine used to say. For the other hand it was nice learning new things,because I do love challenge in life.


One summer, my husband teach me how to ride a bicycle but it never succeed. It's been awkward situation that I am 37 years old started to learn "bicikleta". I told my husband forget it! I preferred to walk into my workplace than riding a" bike". Yeah! sounds strange idea but I'm afraid and I have no control of my balance.


I find myself a hopeless situation, and thinking why I never learned me this things when I was a child. It was not so important on that time to have a "bike" parents was prioritised food in the table. In short problem with money. Poverty! hard to explain that you cannot do about it. all things in my country cost money most of all to educate one child. Money...money..money..

That's it! unlike here that parents could buy everything whatever their children wanted to have. Toys,computer and even own TV in their respective "own bedroom". This is one reason I missed it when I was a child.


They have a good government system here,parents receive help from the state if they have child which they called it "child support". At 18 years old, most of them leave their parents and find to be independent. Parents are not own them to send college or whatever. Young adults decide oneself of what they wanted to do with life.. It's called "teenagers" freedom.
