Although i truly do hate living in the midwest and all the more so living in a college town i can't help but stop and appreciate all the cultures that are represented here. it really allows me to remember that there is a world outside of my own or that there is interest outside of the craziness of this "American dream"
so thank you Hsin Lin for taking the time to talk to me at the bus stop, thank you Jin for sharing meals with me, thank you Fatuma and Juan for inviting me into your home, thank you Stephen for teaching me your humor.
I don't know why anyone would choose to be blind to all the colors, shapes, textures, and tastes that this world has to offer.
