January 2003

When a new year arrives, we tend to pretend we want to change things, ourselves and our lives. But then we forget again and leave it off to the next year. We make plans to do good things and get out of our bad habits, eat more healthy food rather than junk food, help more people, and all sorts of things. Some of them we might actually do, but others are forgotten as always. Whenever we can, we try to find different excuses to do things later rather than now. We don’t know that later is really right now!

One of the things I like about America is diversity. When poeple from all over the world walk around us everyday we get a good feeling.
A feeling of being different but yet important. We get to know their feelings and they get to know ours. We try to help them recover from their pasts and they try to help us understand how they have suffered among millions of others. If there was no diversity we would be trapped in stupidity and selfishness. We would feel too good, having a lot of freedom while others don’t even no what freedom means. Most of us have had those feelings before coming to this society, we must not forget them, if we do, we won’t know how the other part of the world suffers.

What is hidden beneath those eyes who watch me every day? What is hidden beneath those faces? Is there a secret? A question?
An answer? Do I see them or their faces? Is there more beneath a person’s eye?
I don’t know any of them and they don’t know me. But I know that every one of them has a story and every one of them is searching for their identity.

We were on the roads for the longest time. The first stop was Charlotte, North Carolina. What a city! With the most beautiful houses I have ever seen. Mostly rich people. Even the shops that we have here were fancier over there. We slept in our friend’s house and hit the roads again next morning. Our destiny:Orlando, Florida. We made it and found our hotel.

Disney World:Epcot
Our first day was spent at one of Disney’s parks called Epcot. A very huge park with lots and lots of people. A very beautiful park (I will use Beautiful a lot). We visited some of its rides which were mostly educational. Forexample: The energy of the Universe, starting Bill Nye and Ellen. It was fun, you bet!

Disney World:Magic Kingdom
Our third day was at the other park of Disney, Magic Kingdom, where you meet your favorite Disney charactors! It was twice as crowded as Epcot. The weather was good, sunny and nice. Although at night it was very very cold! I think I had more fun in Magic Kingdom. At 8:00 PM there was a parade, very cool! And at 9:00 was fireworks, awesome!
Orlando Itself
Orlando was a very nice and peaceful city which reminded me of an island in Iran called Kish. The cool part about Orlando were the Palm trees. So you get the point, it was a very nice place to stay at for Christmas vacation. We did expect it to be very hot but it wasn’t!
