Men in Parks

I met a boy...well he was 40, a man in the park today. He was sad. He has only been in Taiwan for 6 weeks and already he has been sacked from a job and broken up with the girl he moved here for. He has a new job, but isnt sure if he will stay. I told him to stick it out. I told him that this is a strange world and that for everytime you shake your head in wonderment you learn something and you grow. I told him that it was worth being here. He thanked me as he left...but I hope I was right!
