Coming to the US

I came to the U. S. in May 2010 from Belarus.
The reason I came here is my brother lives in America.
I came here with my wife and two children. My trip was 40 hours. First I went from Belarus to Germany, then to Chicago and finally to Minneapolis. I brought books, digital photos of my family and friends and some clothes. I planned to come to the United States. I am a refugee. On my first day in the U. S., I slept, because I was very tired.
The best thing about living here is respect for people, beautiful nature, and many birds. The worst thing about living here is nothing.
I am homesick for my father and beautiful big cat in my native country.
I don’t miss the lack of freedom in my country. I wouldn’t like to go back to my country and live there. I like my new life in the United States.
