Bored
Because I refuse to sleep and have nothing better to do...I shall write a set of incomprehensible sentences regarding my stay in this foreign land.

I have been a very hard working OFW. Yes, quote and quote - OFW. Ten more days, then I'll be flying back to the Philippines.

Sure, I've been very bored -- that if I keep on doing what I've been doing for another month I'll burst and disperse a contagious sickness called surliness -- but other than that, life here has been easy and pleasant.

I've met a lot of people that I never realized I would meet in my life. I've met people of different cultures: Colombians, Mexicans, Vietnamese, Thai, Russians, etc. I've been referred to as oriental, which is really funny for some reason. I learned that Americans can be very stupid sometimes -- no offense intended, that some of them would do anything just to get a free meal. That a dollar is worthless, it can't buy you a good meal. That a lot of Americans don't smell very good -- well, maybe Texans -- they don't take a bath every day. I also realized that each grain of rice is precious.

Haha. I give up. My eyes are giving up on me. I shall sleep now.

Well it's cool that you got to meet people of so many different cultures. It's always fascinating, to me at least, to learn about people who have different customs and values than I do. But I'm sorry to hear that so many of the people you came in contact with set such bad examples for the rest of us Americans. I agree with you about Americans being very stupid sometimes...in fact, I'd even say most of the time. I won't go into my reasons why.

The only reason I call myself an American is because I live here. Fundamentally, I think I'm much closer to an Irishman...or woman...whatever. Maybe I'm Japanese. Or maybe...just maybe, I'm Greek.

LOL. xD I'm not generalizing though. Some Americans are very smart too. You're one of 'em smart ones! :)

Regarding the rice:

Well, that's true. Because, unlike in the Philippines, there aren't a lot of rice farms there.

There are, US is also one of the major producers in the world. Difference is they're not major consumers.
