Migration/ Immigration Assessment - Blog Post #8

Dear friends & trees,

Today is 10^th of August, I just knew the news, I am relocating myself next week. We are not moving outskirt, but to Vietnam, where there is more CO₂. CO₂ is one of the greenhouse gases, that is the problem. We are living in Los Angeles, America, where there is a lot of pure oxygen; we are making failure this year. They said that we will make a better benefit next year. My mom said that there would be more precipitation in Vietnam, and my dad said there would be fewer earthquakes in HCM city. From social studies class last week, I would say we would stay away from the Ring of Fire, and weather will be much better for us. I think I will fit there no matter what, because there would be the same thing as here, peaceful and friendly (as I heard). Better yet, I am sitting in a 5 star jet, with my other cousins; we were sponsor by the Trees Government Organization. Anyway, I will miss you guys a lot, no matter what. SISTARS 3I.

  

Dear trees & friends,

I don't know where I am going, but just help you figuring it!

Today is 21^st of August, it is much cloudy and more CO_2, I can feel my lungs grow and shrink. Do you want to hear about Vietnam? I think you do. Vietnam, here, is crowded-cruel place, if you are standing in a crowded street of HCM city. It is an urban area, but I visited some area, rural there are nicely paint like a masterpiece. I had to flee over the street every time I need to get to the opposite side-walks. Life here is complicated. Water is polluted, can not run-off easily when heavy rains come. I believe in peace, so someday something will come to me. We’re making more crops and profit this months, come here and energy just fly into me, not just me, but others, too. I am scared, SISTarS 9l, people are cutting branches every second of the day, I can’t stand it. People are releasing bad things on our roots, which kept us sucking others nutrition near us. Vietnamese have no manners, they don’t know where the trash goes, and they just throw any kind of garbage under our shadows. I am miserable that they will cut me down at night. Luckily, I met Emily. She has helped me out since I came. She showered me everyday with cold water-which I really like, since there was no cold rain here. She had made me a star for me to wish me good luck and safety. I felt great about it. Learning to interact here is easy, just last night, I have been getting used to the street and people here. I have got to go now, shopping time. SISTARS 3l.
