It was my friend Bekruz who came from another city, and I later realized that he lives on our street and he was our neighbor. He was born in the USA, but he has this big name. Once I met him, he seemed kind of tough for our environment, and we talked a bit using a dictionary because I didn't know and I didn't have a good command of English at that time. We shared our cultural backgrounds. The difference in our cultures was that I spent six hours a day at school, while his school required 10 hours of study a day with an hour of break. One thing I found really interesting about their environment is that nobody cares about others. In our city, everybody cares about each other, but in the USA, he told me that everyone lives on their own. The salaries in their city were high, and we talked about what jobs and occupations are popular in their country. In my country, I said that being a teacher is really good, but he said that in the USA, most people like to drive trucks and carry goods from one city to another state. I had a good experience, and from that, I became friends with him, and I really love spending time with him.
