Busy with work, busy with the elections for the city council and the hot items such as the municipal tax collection, I got to make my taxreturn in the coming forth night.
I read the blogs of other bloggers. Some are busy at work too, others have holidays in Europe or study under war conditions.
I once had a girl who was adopted. At the age of 4 she came from Seoul to the Netherlands. There she was raised in a catholic family. When I met her she was in doubt whether she should search her roots. Via an organization for Korean adopted children she found her family. Her mother has died, but her father still lives and she has a lot of family over there. Her brother in the army and sisters working for the Government or in factories, all catholic. Almost like we do here actually. The language though is a barrier. Only her brother speaks or writes in english. With the organization she's been in Korea and met her family.
It's the barrier of 25 years history (and the language barrier) which makes the gap real huge.
It's a couple of years ago but I think that she's still wondering around and has so many questions.
Hopefully she's set or will set her mind.
