I'm currently teaching english in a foreign 3rd world country.....many people attack me verbally in the streets cause i suppose i stick out like a sore thumb around here. I'm an american...but not the kind that dresses up in hawaiian shirts, shorts, black socks and sneakers lookin like a tourist...nor am i an arrogant asshole like a lot of americans are when they travel abroad. i'm here as a guest, and i respect the people and my enviornment.
last night some of my university students invited me to go shoot pool. sure enough upon enterring the pool hall, i started hearing the negative **** from everyone. well, i just concentrated and wished for everyone in the place that they have a hummer, wallets fulll of gold, true success for everyone. i guess they caught my vibe cause strangers were buying me drinks. anyhow, i felt more at ease and at that moment i swear i wished more of my fellow americans were there to celebrate and have a drink with me. god bless u all.
