Natalia, wode dafu = Fortune. The Internet has expanded my stream of consciousness beyond my country and my ability to travel and has afforded me the opportunity to meet and exchange with more people around the world and to learn about them personally, than I have been able to meet face-2-face in such a short period of time. The Internet is faster, more convenient, cheaper and much richer insofar as any cyber-relationship can be. It does not replace face-2-face meetings but facilitates safe exchanges that could lead to face-2-face contacts (or not), and who knows, perhaps deeper friendships. I am better able to learn about other cultures, languages and ideas this way than through any other medium. The one drawback is that whatever we print online is search-able and trace-able forever and thus, we should all be wary about and account-able for what we say in all our messages. Not a problem if people respect each other in our exchanges - but if not!!! It will bite us later on at a time or place when and where we least expect it. However, with that caveat well entrenched in our minds I feel the world is a much more accessible place because of this new technology and I believe it will become much more accessible in the future. P.S. I'd like to exchange other ideas with you and would love to hear a piece of music you have composed or played. If you have not composed an original piece yet, I hope it is not too bold to ask you to play 月亮代表我的心 and, in return, I'll sing it back to you with you as my accompaniment. Wallsoft.

well, Na, this is also real, another kind of..., but, it belongs to our life, trying to find the balance inside us, and at same time, in relation with others and with our small planet is our challenger. Use and, instead, of but, eheh. including....

There is always 2 side to a coin. You get to connect to people real fast, however, you sacrifice quality of life for quantity.
