Lost in Translation
Have you ever lived in another country, especially the country whose language you can’t understand at all?
I’ve been here about 8 months. Sometimes the starting months here returns to my mind.
At that time, I had a strong feeling on the movie ‘lost in translation’. I felt many same things in the movie. In the first week I was led to my advisor professor who looked strict. As a new guy who knew nothing here, I was nervous and scared. A student who could speak Chinese went with me as my translator. We talked for a long time. Actually the professor made the ‘speech’ for a long time and the only thing I could do was listening to her and smiling, pretended being interested. When I saw she saying ‘balabala’ long as ten sentences, I turned to translator and got one short sentence. It really made me frustrated.
It gets better and better now. And I become interested in travelling to other countries again. However,I have a problem recently,which is that I can’t fall a sleep in the bed for a long time. What should I do?

what is balabala??
To me ‘balabala’ means that I could see sb is talking something but I can’t understand at all.Her words are like ‘balabala’ whch has no meaning but is noise.
I think, you can’t sleep because of stress. I also have lived another country. It was hard time for me to endure everything at that time. The most hard thing was that I miss everyone in Korea. I hope you don’t get stress anymore and remember good things.
