    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 10, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,034 views

Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more

I find that it’s sometimes hard to identify with people you do know have commonalities with, but it’s especially hard to identify with someone who is radically different. Cultural barriers have ...read more
