I’m talking about America… I don’t know about you guys, but I feel that way… It’s great to be here, but sadly I’ll be leaving the US next week ☹ I have never thought that I can buy a notebook using my own money, not my parent’s, although theres nothing wrong with that… picture this… your salary is $200 a **month** (after you graduate but sometimes like most of my friends their salary are around $60 to $100) and you need to buy a $1500 notebook, that means you gotta save your money for 7 months. and after work I’ll go straight to best buy to buy my first notebook… 🙂 I’m so happy 🙂 ---

You’re making $200 a month after graduating from college? You can make more than that working at minimum wage for 20 hours a week with a 100% income tax. I think you should think about switching jobs. ---

something musta got lost in the translation - Sounds like maybe (he) is refering to what _would_ be the case wherever it is (he) is from (???) and is thankful that he can easily save for/get one here… yaThink ?,… …O’wise this makes no sense whatsoever… ---

err sorry for this confusion it’s back in my country where people only get around $200 for a month salary… well it depends tho… but so far all my friends have a salary below $100 a month and they all have bachelor degrees. oh btw I just got Toshiba S255… oooohhh I love it so much 🙂 in fact I’m using my Toshiba right now 🙂
