[AV02376] Under the Same Stars: #1 Pierre Melin

what should we all not live it look up at the same stars the fellow passengers on the same planet and we dwell beneath the same sky what matters it along which road each individual endeavors to find the ultimate truth here's a boy he looks up the same stars the same sky yours mine is who is he who is this young man and why is he here well I think that he can tell you that's much better than I can my name is tan corresponds with eleven years of school in the UN for six years I was in boarding school the emphasis was on languages both plastic and mother French that laughing and grief for families I still have my mother and my sister father died after nine months of I gained from the Germans who were occupying Belgium Belgium in a small country population of nine million my sister married an American she had one boy born in Belgium and another born in the US mother was anxious to see the little fellow so she said we go to the US and I said I don't want to go to the US the answer is he said again we'll go when we were I I didn't like it and stating all the time for two months then I had a job in a dry cleaning and had to go laws and start learning English America was our friend during the war we appreciate that then Belgium like the American soldiers who came in and the American soldiers said they like the autumn better than some other countries in Belgium we have France thorn Hardt and the wooden heart in the US team so flimsy I remember when I first came to just look like a little toy but Tama bells are used but not as commonly but old cars are not discarded but use as long as they last and I tell you it just look like real jewel people travel more by train or bicycle belgium being small the stands are short where he would travel 25 miles from the city the city about my zone he traveled to so a bicycle is very satisfactory the ultimate self might go on a bicycle tour of Belgium or France and the bicycle tour and bicycle races are favourite recreational Belgium is very clean every morning sidewalks are crop with soap and people try to see you can have the cleanest one who which Belgium food is different from American naturally I preferred Belton popcorn and hamburger my my favorite American food I never ate either before I came to the US corn is not even as a food in Belgium but gifts to check him the leading industry is mining the part of Belgium where I live was called a black country miners are held in great respect and I miss being miners coming out from work with their flat face was called that medical farming well Belgian farms are very small and lift talk isn't able adjoining too hot this made the hopefully dirty farmers are not healthy it's a minor I remember during the war farmers charge high fly six dollars for upon the father and this made of unpopular we also have motorcycle manufacturing and lace making in Brussels and bruises politics Belgians don't think the same interest in politics maybe because it King maybe I'm enthroned for 20 years of war while here a president is life of every four years when our team Leopold absurd came home from Switzerland there was three excitement and political interest relations between parents and children avoid death 316 has to work and give all the money to his father way the money the father will give him what spending money is saying the boy should have by myself s when you stand did was for my movie cool in Belgium it's hardened United State teachers are rough and others kind of here here well I think everybody's trying to help me but I think that American students take advantage of their teachers they can talk they talk too much and they don't work as hard as they should in Belgium we don't have any choice of subject almost take what they are required to and this doesn't make always easy the merchants are very kind in Europe people would laugh as one of can speak the language here no one laughs not even in school they all start to hell with me I'll say that Belgians are mortal eyes and strict sense of manners here when I go to see a friend is home is very pitiful and I can have anything I want to Americans art culture religion is hard to compare between the two countries as over 80% of thousand are casually but I think you make more profit in here than you do in intelligence there's a thing I like to see it's Belgian woman knitting or sewing everywhere and I think the American woman made coffee yet also we have gelada be here American has more money and more things but they don't seem to really enjoy their lives in Belgium you would see people dropping for coffee or cards or go to them in the I myself lost damn dancing you also see people all ages drinking which moderation I think I wish I could tell him how much satisfaction we got from our lives what should roll up what should roll of us in the world today here but what do you have before you talk about that fear I would like to ask you a couple of other questions you talked about food a moment ago yeah do we people in America eats so much different from your people in Belgium well how many Belgium where do you get your ideas of what Americans I like well there's so much property and sometimes they make it sound too wonderful I'll say that America it's propagandize too much in Belgium when so when people are coming in United States some are disappointed well no I think I interrupted you you were talking about what you thought the United States role should be in Europe we're talking as a Belgian well I think that they have a greedy girl now it is from a farthing time unit in Korea and our appreciate that very much and I think that's what well well now you know who this boy is but why isn't here why did we ask you to meet you here's a young man from Delhi once a faraway country now only a few hours to the United States my hair now we all have our differences of language you can hear that and customer the ways of beauty and we have to live with differences air has to live with ours do we with you what other differences still very important yes they are you can discard them they're their language itself just that one thing that's pretty much in your way but we have to learn to live in fear but more important than that what about our similarity because those differences are the sweetest thing what about the things underneath what about our way to being this in our life I knew this life they're hungry yes we are cold we all wash them and it's all those similarities that we should concern ourselves our common humanity so we ask you to remember this young man and LG a fellow man with a fellow traveler on the same Flint who lives under the same sky as your eye and looks up at the same stuff
