The truth of the matter is that people here are the way they are because a lot of them, themselves grew up on a farm or had a parent who grew up on a farm. If any of you are familiar with farm life or even know anything about the history of Superman ( the most noble boy scout that never existed), then you know nothing builds character more than old fashioned farm work. Most farm people are honest and kind too. Those are obviously ideal characteristics for any doctor to have. Nice works thanks.

It really is surprising to me how different the overall attitude in this area of the world is and I just thought I would try and put in words. Thanks Natassia.

I totally agree with everything you've said. When I first got here I had no idea what to expect. Coming from L.A. it was great to see so many smiling faces and people actually willing to help you out. You're right, there are a couple of bad apples everywhere. What we see here, though, is of supreme quality and I couldn't be happier that I've spent the past two years here. Speaking of free lunch, I have one in about an hour… :)
