    since i t was the ship all what i was thinking about in the last few days... this song came to my head so i was singing it lately so i thought about sharing it with you since i like Chris De Burgh's songs...

    Sailing Away

    Waiting at the water's edge,
    Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,
    I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
    Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world;

    Watching as they disapper,
    Reading out the names of all the places I hav never been,
    Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,
    Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world,

    I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
    Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight;

    Walking down another street,
    Underneath the red light, I am watching where the shadows fall,
    Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
    Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,

    I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
    Sailing away, in your arms tonight,
    In your arms tonight;

    I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
    Sailing away, with you now, with you now...

    East vs West

    Eastern mentality….it is so screwed up…Each of them is right ( they think), this is the least I could think of  when I talk about those ignorants “ left in the past” people.

    What brings this subject is that 3 nights ago when I was walking down the street with some friends,  I saw somebody with a bike digging down the trash dumpster looking for something… so I asked one of my friends: what is that guy looking for ?... my friend replied that this guy like many others dig in the trash for Styrofoam or boxes and plastic that he would collect  to sell later to somebody else.. ( you should have seen my friend’s face when  talking about those people he was so disgusted ) then he added.. I even know one person who started like that and now he owns a business , he drives a Mercedes-Benz and he got a few crews that do this job for him.

    So that brought to my attention how people here in the “east” think…

    If someone is poor they look at him like: look he is so trashy he collects trash to live…

    But when the same person gets rich… they started respecting him and they say:… you should have seen how this guy has made his fortune out of trash collection… he was so ambitious ….

    Now when he is rich they even wish they could switch places....

    Good thing we get to go out in this wide world to see how other people on the same planet  called Earth live…. We get to see the civilized Western world( dispite those little negative things), we get to see the difference so maybe we tend to make a difference.

    After all we are all human, and working no matter in what field  has to be sacred.
