Traveling to another Country ( chapter 2)

While i have never given up everything to go to another country i have traveled abroad, so this chapter brought some great and dreadful memories for myself. First off the main characters, most being extended family members, are all from the rural Lithuanian countryside. while i have spent time in cities, i would equate growing up in eastern Oregon similar to this scenario. When Jurgis finally get the money to come to america and bring Ona's family, they arrive and have no place to live. they end up in a small boarding house. reminding myself of a time i nearly stayed in a hostel with some friends upon a trip to Canada. like the boarding house. accommodations were meager. the tiny room we were offered had three tiny beds, and one really old tv. there was also one communal bathroom, for i don;t even know how many people, to which one shirtless man remarked to us "Hey your getting the nice room with the TV ah?" needless to say we bolted out of that play mainly because we could, where by Jurgis and his family could not. though i am surprised there wan't chickens running around that place as well. While the rest of my journey to Canada was a lot of fun, I do not recall being swindled, though there may have been a few that tried. i do believe my friend Tim was tricked into buying a while Pizza when he tried to buy only a slice, but nothing to the extent of Jurgis and company. However, we did plan to stay an entire week, but only stayed three nights, mainly because the cost was more than we had planned, similar to that of Jurgis and company. Luckily for us we could return to our regular lives. unlike Jurgis and Ona's Family who were stuck in packing town, with that smell.
