Back to Belize…

so here I am…back to Belize

After 5 years of dream-like life in the USA…

I had to be back mainly due to the rejection of my immigration petition…

But also…I feel I was fed up with so-called “advanced country”…

US immigration office just didn’t think I am that worthy of a person to be kept in the USA

USA was not as good as many people imagine it to be…

Besides struggling of financial survival…there is crowded street…stinky air and…pipe water with bad taste.

It was really hard to find inspiration in New York…especially for my kind of style…

I wonder why…I could never get tired of watching sun setting…but neon light and huge bill boards at Time Square… they got old after just visiting once…

    Hey, Joseph…

    I’m sorry NY was rough to you…I understand. I’m living just outside the city and even here, it gets so tiresome. And money…well, it ain’t easy here, that’s for sure, especially for an artist.
    Maybe we can visit with eachother next time I come to Belize.

    Between NY and Belize I would rather be in Hualin. I like water.
    Immigration in Taiwan will not let me stay there. Too bad we cannot
    change places. I bet you can stay in Taiwan or Belize.

    Try San Miguel de Allende (SMA) in Mexico. It is a Mexican artist town.
    Craigslist is a good resource for there
    I hope to get there someday. I am stuck in San Diego USA
