How many countries have you seen in your life? How many languages do you speak? And how many friends do you have in this world?
Do you know someone Mongolian, Italian, British, Indonesian, Peruvian or Lao? I do. As a matter of fact I have friends all over the world, from America to Europe to Asia. Have you ever been to Japan, France, Chile, China, Finland, Germany, Vietnam, Russia? I haven't, but I have friends waiting for me everywhere I go.
At Nazareth I have met students from all over the world and they taught me things you probably could not learn at home, at your home city, in your country. I know how ancient Mongolian writing goes top to bottom. I know how to make perfect Italian Pizza. I know how to dance salsa. I know how to make sushi. I know Joulupukki is the Finnish name of Santa Claus. I know "Aku Cinta Kamu," "te amo," "volim te," "szeretlek," "wo ai ni," "je t'aime," "ich liebe dich," "ya lyublyu tebya" all mean the same: I love you. I have social network in more than 25 countries in the world. Do you?
