Dear Diary It’s been one week living in America now. For me it is tired of living in America. It is very uncomfortable with my body. I got sick next day when I came America and I did not eat food for days and it's still sick. There is no doctor so I have to sleep outside because I do not want to give them my virus and kill. And outside, it's very cold. I thought it was warmer than before but it was much colder that German. I feel like I am dying. I wish I can be better at tomorrow. And start to make friend in Ellis Island. Today’s dinner was soup again. Every day we have only bread and soup. Sometimes they gave us some meat but it's not cow. It is chicken or pig. And it's not yummy. Sometimes German sausage comes out. If it came out every day. I will be very good and feel better than before. I might take all them. When I was cold, there was one Japanese boy talk to me but I do not know what language they speak I spoke with my mother tongue. We do not know one another but we became friend somehow. Japanese are very friendly they do not betrayal like German friends. They talk to me in Japanese and but I do not know what they are saying. So I need to learn English and Japanese. Sincerely, Adolf
