I got an Ipod for my birthday.

Both my kids have I-Pods. My daughter Valerie is in her second one and she is the expert. My son got his first one for Christmas. (Although at the end He wanted to get the dog and cats Nintendo games. This is two days before Christmas. Too late, Santa was done with his shopping.)

For the couple of years that my daughter has had her I-pod, I truly don't know what she listens too, except for "My chemical Romance" and some soundtracks from movies she likes. But, this past year she started to ask for Korean music. Korean music? where in the world did she get hooked on this. She even signed up for a pen pal website, has some pen pals from Korea and other Asian countries, and to finish it all she is teaching her self to write and understand Korean.

Mind you I am Colombian, from South America where we speak Spanish and love Cumbia, Salsa, Vallenato, and other local music. I have some of it, and listen to it sometimes in my car. This coming school year, the plan is that she will be going to Colombia for the school year. She will live with my best friend from college, who has the coolest family. As Colombian as you can get. I lived with them for a few months in my youth.

Back to my birthday I-Pod... since I don't know how to use it, I plug it in to my computer and follow the steps that it prompts me. It took about an hour to load, as I said yes to pictures. The only music in the system is what my daughter has uploaded in the past two years.

So this morning, I decide that since I feel a little on the low side, I will listen to what I ended up with in my I-pod, clean it up, and put some good music in. ( my music ) and as I listen, I cant believe that this Korean music is so ....beautiful and regular. It reminds me of the music that I listened to when I lived in Colombia and all I wanted was to go see the world. I listened back then to American music. This music for the new millenium, of course has now some rap, and tones of Latin music, plus other world music that I am not sure where it comes from. Some of the lirics are in English.

This is such a big world; over 6 billion people and we are so much the same. We all want to have love, families, a roof over our heads, good entertainment....

Does this relate to real estate? Sure, we are all looking for the same. Love, health and money, or as the saying goes in Colombia " Salud, dinero y amor"
