Dear Alice:

Thanks for the reply, again.

Now I am in Istanbul, the legend city in human history. Today I am working in the afternoon shift which will be started at 1230pm.

Life is quite an amazing journey to me. Although I am ONLY at the age of 27, there were already too many things I had experienced.

Some were good, remarkable, and breathtaking. Some others were painful, barely to see, and dirty.

I see myself as a camera for these short-sight Taiwanese who¡¦d never seen the needs of the world.

And that is the HARDEST part of the whole thing.

And here I stand, representing my people and country, alone.

Sincerely,

Ray
