Our world is incredibly filled with wonders that we ought to witness and experience. Travelling and seeing new places interest me big time! It feels like heaven when hubby and I can wander around.
I’ve heard that many people from the 1st world do “contracting” and spend half of their year working and the rest of it wandering. How COOL is that?!!! Gosh, that is an enormous advantage of being citizens of the 1st world. They can go wherever they want and work there <green with envy>. They simply have a choice. While us, the ones holding 3rd world passports need to APPLY to enter other countries and unfortunately, denial of entry is a usual scenario. Moreover, finding work abroad is not easy too because assessment of our qualifications is a MUST and further training/exams should be taken first before they can regard us with comparable skills/qualifications <sigh>. Qualms on travelling/working abroad are just even on the surface of the deep-rooted issues of our misfortunes. We simply cannot have the FREEDOM others are enjoying and that’s the bottom-line.
Perhaps, this is one good reason why many of us are desperately itching to have our passports changed because it is literally our “passport” to a more privileged life. How SAD is that?
