I went to fishing yesterday.  It was much fun.  Got up at 5 o'clock in the dark and that was not part of the fun.  We bought crawfish as the bait in a small store first.  When we got there, there were already a lot of people.  Unbelievable.   I never thought it was so easy to fish here. I casted the bait and within one minute I felt the heavy of my rod. I rolled the real and like what I thought,  a fish was on the hook. I pulled the line but the fish slipped away.  I put another piece of bait on and within one minute again I caught my first fish.  It was a bass.  Later I also caught a few drums.  There were just so many of them.

I watched a documentary called "Undercover in the secret state" on CNN today.  It talked about the secret state North Korea.  A North Korea camera man secretely shot some pictures and carried it out and revealed it by crossing the boader between China.  It was such a mess there: children stole on the street because they got nothing to eat; people lied on the ground dying and no body cared.  There was no information of the rest of the world, no foreign movies, no phone calls allowed to outside and people were fooled by false teaching that North Korea was the paradise and people in other places were suffering. The control of the people was absolutely severe: they can't even travel to another city by train unless they got a permit. People were staving but Kim Jong Il said the nation didn't want any food aid...

 

It is such a sad story.  To me it just tells how differently people can live under the same sky.  We are enjoying too many good stuffs in life and just take them for granted.  We complain our own situation and seem to be never satisfied.  We just don't know there are people leading a life that can't be called a life.  I may not have money, but I have the freedom to think, to understand and to pursue whatever good stuff life has to offer; they just don't even have the opportunity.  The worst thing in life happens when one is not only deprived of the chance to eat but also think and speak.
