I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA FROM A TINY TOWN IN JAPAN AFTER GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS A HUGE TRANSITION TO SAY THE LEAST. I DIDN’T SPEAK MUCH ENGLISH.

LOOKING BACK, I THINK TO MYSELF..HOW DID I PULL THIS OFF? QUITE FRANKLY, I DON’T QUITE REMEMBER. BUT MY STRONG WILL DID THE MAGIC.

WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN BAD ENOUGH, IT WILL HAPPEN.

So today I want to talk about five things that I learned in the U.S.

3. Interesting insight.Thanks.

I'm trying to imagine examples of some using aggressiveness ( rude? ) when assertiveness was the really actual goal.

4. Hah! I'm trying to imagine the friend now. =)

"Hey! Motherf*****! I want a large drink and a Big Mac RIGHT NOW or I'mma jump that counter and stuff my foot up your rear! HAYAKU!"

5. I could do the same thing about what I learned living in China

But it would come out really stereotypical.
