well, i should say to you Mr. sum off ..... imagine that you are a reverse version of Leopold from a movie 'kate and leopold'. things are completely out of your thoughts. you will find the history of Americas and Europe here. no need to take History of American culture and life when you go back to school there. you will have real life experience. still you will see people so calm about their life, no rush ..... not at all. and the first thing i would suggest you is 'not to complain.' if you do, there is nothing but 'frustrations' that will hit you. just be calm, and listen to people, watch people just the way Mr. Leopold does when he came to New York. ....... ...... and i agree to a saying '"The world's a theatre, the earth a stage ..........'
