people dont care about traffic light. and here in new york. people are very senstive and aggressive. new york is full of
foreigner‘
“yes. it is. you should come to minnesota. people are nice."
"i hope so" i smiled at him.
”new york is always busy. especially manhattan." he said.
i'm agree with him. he asked some thing about kazakhstan. he asked me before i came to america did i speak or learn english. i said yes. i finished my college.
"have you ever back to kazakhstan",i said no.
"do you want stay in america" he asked me.
"i dont know. probably not. if i like this country or this country accept me maybe i will stay." i told him truely. although i dont know him,and he doesn't know me. i want talk with american like him or i can say white american like him. i think this is a hones conversation.
then we talked about some other thing. he told me american people are selfish. i know that. base on my past experience. like we talking on the phone. at first american people pretend very kind warm,but when they didn't get their benefit they will be very cold,cold talking.`
when we left. he told me his name is Bryant. i aksed him,what's that mean. he said it means strong.
"take it easy" he smiled at me. i said "thank you". i treasure talk with people like this. because this is real conversation,i thought.
we know that,American have Illegal immigration issue.on my way back,on the bike,i was thinking about english learnning,i know how important it is. also i was thinking about is this country fit for me? what kind of country it is. i have stayed in american for more than 2 years already. i have been to Miami,FL. Las Vegas,NV，Tucson,AZ. atlantic city NJ, Marryland and the captical Washington D.C.i saw rich people,poor people. nice people,cold people.but i still have no idea about this country.i know how large this country it is.but i dont know about people live in here. i want to know. i want to make friend with american,to know each other. whatever i stay here or leave in the future.

little conversation01
today is nice. sunny day.not like yesterday. and i have nothing to do,so i decide do some sport,like soccer.
it was arround 2pm,i left my place. i went to the first playground,so many people. so many kids. because i live in queens,New York. my area is almost all mexcian and latin american people. i don't know is that right,if i say it's all mexcian kids. there is no space for adult like me. so i thought the other place for my plan.
i took the bike head to college point. near queens museum,there is a large park with several soccer playground.
when i get there,i started looking. "can i join" "%$^#",the guy answer me with spanish. i dont understand. i guess it was no. i moved to another place. i saw some chinese and one american or maybe hispanic people playing together. "can i join" "yes" they said.
final i join a team. we started play. it is a small match. 4 vs 4. me and the white guy and two chinese guy. because i didn't do any sport for 2 years. i was very slow when i running. i missed some ball. i knew it was my fault. but it doesn't matter, it is just a game with stranger.during we palying two more guys came. we play together. i was out of breath. but i feel so good. sunshine,fresh air,and with some people. we palyed like 3 hours without break time. at last,the chinese guy said he need go now. so he took the ball. game over.
i was drinking my water. and so did the white guy.
"where are you from",he start this conversation.
"Kazakhstan" i told him.
"do you like here?" he asked me,looking at me.
"you mean New York or American" i replyed
"both"
"well.." i try to speak like american way,"i dont like new york,it is noisey.and so many people"
"yes. New York is always like this."
"how long you been here"
"2 years" i told him.
"i have been here only for 3 months"
"so where are you from" i get confused. because from his accent i was sure he is american or white american. like those people in the movie.
"Minnesota"
and we talked about some simple,like what is he do.he told me he work for a national organization. he work with 10 people here. live in a hotel. i think he is different with those people from new york. when we talk,he look at my eyes. then we talked about new york. "i think there is gap between foreigner and american. i only talk with a few maybe 2 or 3 american people like you. and american is different with what i thought from book,magazine or movie. i thought people in american are very polite. but when i came here,i was disappointed.
