Are We Living in a Big World or a Small One?

Today’s class has finished, leaving so much things and happy memories in my mind. I am both glad and surprised to see that several classmates are also interested in my theme–Culture Shock.

Some shared opinions with me during the break.

It seems that we are living in a big world, because in our first course, when we googleearthed our hometowns on the Net, I felt we were too far away from each other, jumping from one corner of the earth to another. And actually we don’t have much in common: our looks, our language, our lifestyle, even our way of thinking…

However, by using the Internet and mobile phone, almost all my family and friends are within reach. And in the Latina class, we can sit back and chat on the same topic… And the world no long seems that big…

A Happy Accident

In the morning, the four groups in our Latina course presented our digital stories.
I was amazed by seeing the works done bby the other three groups. For example, the “Libraries” background music and scripts are fantastic.
Besides, it is also interesting to notice that different people focused on different things even when we are in the same surroundings. I guess that partly dues to the culture and economic background of each person.
Anyway, we should always have a sharp eye no matter where we are.

One last thing, the three of us, Therese,Nayèn and I found difficulties downloading our background music yesterday, as I mentioned. So we just borrowed a piece from my Chinese friend in a hurry.But this morning it turned out to be just the right one. It seems everythings goes with us…Isn’t it a happy accident?
