"Is it nice to live in America?" they ask me.
How do I answer that? I feel like I would need to live in Africa for a long time to answer honestly and more objectively. However, after thinking about it some, I decided that it's all relative. People here dream about living in America as if it is heaven, but life for immigrants in America is not heaven. Some may argue that even the life of immigrants in America is better than that of people in Africa, but I don't think that is necessarily true for the people of Kanye, particularly for those who have jobs.
Perhaps, if having nice things and more expensive lifestyle is very important to him, then it may be worth it... Tabang, a man nurse working on KMC asked me this question and I told him what I wrote in here... however, I think his fate greatly depends on his connections, work ethic, and the luck of the draw. If I was him with his job as a nurse here, I would just stay here and continue to work hard here. or perhaps I don't really understand the hardships of living in Botswana or Africa yet...
Who knows.
