The man in the first photo seems to have a huge amount of luggage with him. I imagine he is planning to stay (or a long timc. Me looks bewildcred and rather disorientated. It mustfecl loneiyand pretty overwhelming to go to a country where cvcrything feełs unfamiliar, induding the language.
He‘s probabiy fceling anxious about finding a job and somcwhcre to livc.
I guess he must be missing his family too. I wonder if he has emigratcc because he wants to escape a political regime that he doesn't agree with. Or he might be an economic migrant who has comc herc in search of a bcttcr standard of Ih-ing.

. About 9.000 years ago. when migrating huntergatherer societics turncd to the
| settled !ife of farming. they began to dcvelop ways to record the numberof animals they owncd, or the amount of crops. and to keep a calendar for prope; crop planting. The first attempts at wńting it all cown were "clay counting tokens’. which were found in the tegion which is now modem Turkey and Syria. These lokcns were simply lumps of clay shaped likc spheres, disks or cones and couki either be plain or decorated. Each of them stood for one word. Howeve.\ carrying them around was bothersome and gradually a transition from threedimcnsional tokens to two dimcnsional signs began. Around xooo BC the ancient Sumcrian seribes slarted to imprmt shapcs into clay tablcts to represent the tokens. Now one tablet could contain morę than one word.
Originalty. these pictures simply represented whole concepts such as names and numbers. But with time they were simplified and refincd and e-yentualty cvolved into signs representing the consonants of the language. The first truć alphabet was the Semitic alphabet which appeared around i?oo BC. followrd, about 700 years latcr, by the Phoenician system. At this point the alphabet as we know it today was almost in its finał form.
The finał touch was added by the early fjrecks. who introduced vowcl symbols to their alphabet. The descendants of this alphabet were latin and Cyńllic, which were then spread far and wide by their rcspective users. The fact that latin was the officia! alphabet of the Roman Empire, which at one point covered most of Europę, helped to establish this alphabet as the accepted way of writing across the conłinent. Along with their alphabet the Romans populansed the particular way in which they wrote their letters - the script.
