| in the early 70's we traveled east of athens and road the buses and trains and trucks across the roads of asia . and along the way we discovered that the people in most places were just like us . they want their childern to be fed and married . if they were lucky the childern got to go to school and if they were even luckier the school was a good one . now all this was after the year that i spent in viet nam and the story there with the helmet and boots was not the same as with a bag of books to be read .AND THIS IS A REAL ONCE UPON A TIME STORY. and it was not so long ago . i can still taste the food and dream . |
