Only change is changeless here.

When i first landed in United States of America back in 2000,i was a bit uncomfortable.
I couldn't understand the accent,Cultural differences.
Slowly by watching the TV,speaking to the clerk at the gorcery counters,i learnt the accent.
By working with the locals,i undertand how friendly and compassionate these people are.
It is a land of opportunity,a great nation.
I read a book by name "OUR ICEBERG IS MELTING" in the last week.
It is another short fable like "Who moved my cheese".
