''When I go back home for vacation, I feel like my old classmates and neighbors who stayed are still like children. As if they didn't grow up. They are there sitting in the street, playing with there mobile phones, hanging out with the same people, barely working. We've had much more experience, living with foreigners, learning about other habits, working hard and being rewarded for it.'' August 2008.
