Life in a City
“That’s the thing about this city. Even though it’s relatively big, it’s very busy and it can sometimes be a very lonely place to live, which by the way cwww.onedoor.ccan describe most cities, our city also has a lot of positives , built up through the decades by good and caring people, some of which I’m going to talk about now. When my mother came to this place as a ten year old girl, it seemed so vast and strange to her and very different from where she had come.

Because Some Fool Wanted a Blind Date on April 1st
Kathy hates April Fools. First of all, there are plenty of fools out there anyway, so there really isn’t a reason to spend an entire day celebrating idiocy.

Rusty train to Auntie San
Holding onto the gift that I held so dearly took a price. The only way to reach auntie San was to board the train. There were bad reviews about the train,but she insisted I go on. With every movement of the train you can hear how old and rusty it was. My mother and father would have never let me on this train if they knew where I was going. I stood up not wanting to sit in the avaliable set across me it had a wet news paper on it. Decorated with gum underneath. The train was crowded, too crowded. The train stopped and some got on the train while others left. Just then someone caught my eye. He...
