Journal #5 LAND OF OPPORTUNITY and LIFE

Before I answer the this question, How was my life in the back home and what I was expecting from the US, and finally what I found.

I had a ordinary life in the Turkey. I was working at a company as a computer technician. I had six years exprience at this company. I was so lucky. I had a rom at the same building which I working in it. I was living the center of Istanbul which the biggest and famous city.The other thing it was easy to reach other people with out car. People dont need car. First, I was drinking too much tea. I often eat Turkish food. I had not eat different food in there. I get use paly card games. and I spend most of my time by using computer such chat with friend or play game or surf on the internet.

Second, what I expecting from USA. To be honest, The USA was my dream. I was thinking that not being in the USA my life was not complete. when I were there, America was English, money, mixture culture, adventure and meet different people, espcially girls, from all over world.

Third, I think this is the answer of question, what I found or how I am living or another expression how my life has changed. First thing in my life has changed is my living situation. i was living alone. I am living with my brother and my brother' s house so far to school. I have to take bus and train to come school. It takes two hours. Last semester was so difficult for me. I got car this semester but it still takes a hour to drive because of traffic. I had not drunk tea until yesterday. I eat different food here. I had a few Korean students in my last class. One of them was really good Cook. She gave many parties and I joined part of them I ate some korean food. I rarely wore shirt in my country but now I often wear shirt to be come more californian. My sister told me californian mostly wear shirt. I had girl friend at back home. I didnt find what i expecting. I am still single. By the way, before I came here I broke up with my girl friend. :) I am tring to to gym what I didnt do at back home.

My final saying is that People cannot change so fast it takes times. I am here only six months. By the I will be more californian also american but it doesnt mean i forget my old life style...
