Good morning! I haven't been here in forever. Everything certainly looks different. The reason I haven't been here is because I've been very, very busy but I have missed you all terribly. I am taking 5 classes this semester online through a local university. One of my classes is cultural anthropology and I am enjoying it tremendously! I need to interview someone from another country who is living in the US now. I need to do it today, if I can. I will go ahead a post some questions and we'll just see what happens!
From what country did you come here?
Where do you live now?
How old were you when you arrived?
What was your first impressions? Were they different from what you thought they would be? How was the US different from your prior thoughts on what it would be like?
How were you treated initially?
Did people, upon finding out you were from somewhere else, ask you odd questions or treat you oddly? Can you explain?
Was it difficult to find housing and the things you needed?
Did you run into any prejudice? How do you feel about that at this point in your life?
If you were to be able to do it again, would you do it differently? How would you change your first experiences in a new country? What kind of advice would you give a person coming here for the first time?
What about the US do you love most? What do you dislike most? How do you feel about it here?
If you have taken the time to answer these questions, I appreciate it sooooo much. I have to write this paper by tonight. I've been sitting a swim meet all weekend and am getting a very late start. Thank you!
