* SmallSecludedWorld: Jung remembers how people told her lies that people in the capitalist countries were off far worse than them. She was frightened of foreigners and her image as a child was that all of the men were men with "red, unkempt hair, strange-colored eyes, a very very long nose, stumbling around drunk, pouring Coca-Cola into his mouth from a bottle, with his legs splayed out in a most inelegant position". She was also intrigued by the word "hello", which foreigners always said, with an odd intonation, yet didn't know what it meant. Back then she assumed it was a swear word.
