“My name is Jane. I'm originally from Japan, but I've lived in Germany and Canada and here. I went from Japan to Canada first; I was studying and that's where my husband and I met. After that he got a job and we moved to Germany, and then from Germany to here. I thought I was somewhat Americanized and Europeanized; but when I came here, I was really in a culture shock. Everybody's so friendly. I thought that German people were a little like Japanese people, but then coming here, I thought, 'Oh my God, everybody's so friendly.'“
