This is the first day of my visit with John Bul Dau. I got here
early this morning from an overnight flight. I was quite tired so we didn't do
very much this first day. I stayed at John's house, and he told me stories
about his long walk, the refugee camp he lived in, and his stay in America. He
told me that in America he was very lonely living in an apartment. He wondered
how Americans could live that way, all alone. He also said that he didn't
really like work, because it took up so much of his time, and with having a
different work schedule and working at different companies than his friends it
could be more than a week between the times he got to see the person that he
was sharing an apartment with. Later on he also told me that he
enjoyed being in the movie about the lost boys. He said that it helped him to
spread the message about the problems in Sudan in order to try to get help from the rest of the world
to restore peace.
Later on we went out and watched some farmers tending to their
herds of cattle.
