Welcome to Café Diverso!

There are some stories on the internet. You may or may not find them through your daily surfing. A website called Café Diverso has a lot of good storytellers sharing their life experiences to you.

Something special about this café is its mission: “to inspire people to explore cultures through stories and connections, so as to bridge cultural divides across the world.” It was dedicated to the founder’s best friend, Seamus. After Seamus’ death, Killian McDermott, the founder, started to look for stories around the world. People from different countries tell stories in about 10 languages. They may live in other cities or countries and share their lives on-line without the border. You can learn a tale from Argentina or know a scene in Africa through either an article or a picture.

I can’t exactly find a word to describe the site, especially after reading each of them. Somehow, I recognize myself in different stories. Am I like the guy inside that story? Did it happen to me before? Through their eyes, I discover something newspaper wouldn’t cover at all. These scenes are something around us. These are the reflections of our daily lives. As a T-bird, some articles would be very good reference for my future career. Many of authors live in another country from their home. Something you may not notice as a native is well presented and interestingly told in their words. Good or bad moods and happy or sad moments are across the lines. You would laugh loudly or tear silently. Take your time, and read anyone you like. You may want to share your insight or your story.

“Everyone has a good story”. How about yours?
