Cold seems determined to spend a season at least in this portion of land despite the recent sunny mornings. I don't
remember when it was the last rainny day. During the previous month I
have been working at a inconstant pace while I received several job
offers. That's how it goes sometimes. 'This is my month!' I told myself. Most known mates are back to their mother towns and, not
surprisingly, I'm more concerned about making my way in this removed
island.
I feel more confident and able to speak
English but I sometimes feel Spanish is necessary, as a outlet, to
express my feelings.
It's early to understand all is happening
around me because, at present, I get on learning new things everyday
and not always they goes by enough slow to get them properly.
This is a big country compounded by a
mix of nationalities, so there are many people in my same situation,
learning English and trying to get a great reason to live or spend
more time here. They work hard day after day to upgrade and leave
behind their current positions because many of them work in areas
without connection with they studied to
I see there is a fierce daily challenge
in the city as if it grew at two speeds. On one hand Australian
versus second generations of migrants who talk English perfectly and
develop qualified jobs. On other hand migrants who are from
undeveloped countries and able to work for over 12 consecutive hours
each day at any price in the most extreme case. They don't have any competitor in certain
areas opposite workers who are losing their jobs because they aren't
as productive as those former. I'm referring Asian people, but
students are also becoming the new cheap labor cost because they
generally must work to pay their living cost.
The disappointment or desperation to
get an appropriate job which allows to save money is what makes most
students leave this country when they finish their study. But there's another hidden reason, the nostalgia of the family and friends.
Cold reminds many of us there are important people wanting us to return back home. Whether or not they are close to us we will enjoy a beautiful sunrise tomorrow.
