World from a different angle

It's a human thing...

The other day I was hanging out with my family when we ran into a group of polish journalists visiting Jordan for the first time. We had that interesting conversation about cultural differences, terrorism and other issues largely talked about these days.

 

So, we were saying how all people share common human traits, whatever their ethnicity, ideology or belief is. I was holding the book Memoirs of a Geisha, over which we had a conversation that I think sums it all up in one bubble!

 

Man: My wife loves this book!

 

Me: Yeah, it's a very nice book

 

Man: So, my wife is European, she's a member in the parliament, and you are a Muslim girl in Jordan, yet you read and like the same book!

 

Me: True!

 

Woman: And, after all, the book is about Japan

 

Me: That's the point!

 

See, it's just human!

Wonders: nobody had a problem :D in fact we were all agreeign on the same thing and reiterating that

Abed: I like it so far because it includes many detailed descriptions... If you like that and like narratives and novels I htink you'll like it. Some may find it boring for the too many details
