TAREK A.Hello my name is Tarek A., I am Syrian which is an Arabic country and everybody hear about the war there, but for the last 9 years I was living and working in Doha, Qatar which is also Arabic but it is in the Gulf area.
I decided to move to America because I like this country and also it is a better place for the future, even for work. Now I am enjoying the time since I do not have work but also feeling bored and killing time by watching TV, series, Sports matches, also there is a big time spent on Facebook and internet. Also I am missing this time in my origin country Syria which WAS a very beautiful country before 5 years from now. I miss the time with family there and some places which give me emotional memories, including the friends ,food etc… From the time I moved to USA just a couple of months back, I decided this is a new start in this part of the world in which you can do anything you like as a free country. Also I like the simplest way of living and how people are friendly here. I’d like to go Miami, Vegas and spend some time in the Apple Company in San Francisco someday. |
