on the boarder

Once you got through boarder, it's totally different country.
Lauguage, culture, food, politics.

it's different going from US to Canada.
They speak same language(some say, bit different, but it's almost same), and same basic culture.

But here, it's totally different.
Now, no one understand my chinese.
Like my country, it's surrounded by sea, so in usual it's hard to notice it.

Now I notice, ground to groud.
Every boader I cross, I'd know different culture and dipped myself in.
