For animal lovers you need to turn and read another blog because I am about to tell you my experience. It’s not too graphic though. All my life, at least for 18 years I always saw the meal I was going to eat alive three hour before it was meal time. Whether it was a cow, turkey, goat or chicken. I didn’t think the story was that gruesome. Life on a ranch seems to be pretty boring to me. Couldn’t do it. I also think it funny that an emu is a convicted murderer.

I know you've said in class where you were from but I forget... you should post a blog about the differences between your home culture and here. I'd love to read that... Which do you like better? Where do you feel more comfortable? probably dumb questions but I'm curious nonetheless.
Posted by: moira at April 12, 2005 03:37 PMNot a dumb question and I am from Nigeria. Have you ever heard of that saying "there is no place like home" and "never forget where you come from" I realized those saying were true when I went back home for the first time in 4years. It felt like I never left. I felt complete inside. That feeling was missing for 4 years. I had maid, chauffeurs, multiple cars, and a11 room house. These were normal. It’s not as expensive to have these things over there as over here. Guess what I’m not a minority over there. Living over here makes you more aware of whom you are. I lived in Europe for a while so I can adjust. I like it better at home even I have to give up some things like constant electricity, 911, gas and other amenities. There is no place like home
