Moreover, the children are not allowed to spend their allowance on any of the modern-day activities such as getting their picture taken or getting food or even going to get balloons from a vendor. But the three siblings do not listen to anything their crazy grandmother says. As time passes, Micaela notices that a white man and a woman walk up to her brother, Junior, while he is sitting close to the entrance of an American church. The woman attempts speaking in Spanish that is “way too big for her mouth” asking if she can take picture of him (Cisneros). She then offered Junior some gum and he yelled back to his sister and brother asking if they wanted any, in perfect English. The woman was taken back and surprised that he spoke English because she assumed that he only spoke Spanish, according to his physical looks. So, although the grandmother is only accepting of her own Mexican heritage, the children still feel more closer to the American

She uses words such as auntie and uncle. She is conflicted to either stay with her heritage, or to transition to the American culture. "We cannot run off and have our picture taken on the wooden ponies. We must not climb the steps up the hill behind the church and chase each other through the cemetery. We have promised to stay right where the awful grandmother left us until she returns." (3) The narrator wants to go do what American kids do around her age, but she has to stay behind the church. The narrator and her siblings were also mistaken as foreign people with broken English. A lady automatically assumed that they couldn't speak English, so proceeded to speak Spanish. "But you speak English!" "Yeah," my brother says, "we're 'Mericans." (23,

Tip number 1: never but never try to take pictures of places that have them forbidden, such as commissaries, prisons, banks or military bases, because if they do so they can take them as spies or terrorists and that is not exactly good Tip number 2: do not disclose which country you come from, since for example if you go to gringolandia, if you are Latino, you will receive a lot of ridicule from the racist gringos, in this case it is the same in any country Tip number 3: remember that each country has its typical foods and if someone offers a please do not reject them since this can provoke anger on the part of the native of the place, if you do not reject them at least the first time Tip number 4: make sure that you can pay for everything

“Speaking of excited, I know you asked to see Carly and Pamela. Go, and be a good girl.”

When Lotta’s family moved to the States, she had no knowledge of the language or the culture. She did not know any English and because her family’s original intention was to return Germany after a few months, she initially viewed being here as an extended vacation. Shortly after they arrived, Lotta realized that she needed to master the language. Not knowing anyone, she became friends with a young girl in her neighborhood. Being new to any community can be scary, but Lotta felt welcomed by her. Her new friend led her around pointing things out to her building her vocabulary. She spoke her first sentence in English just three weeks later. Even with the language barrier, Lotta’s determination and humbleness supported her emersion into

A voice startled Juana and she looked in all directions until she found the source from behind. Providentially though, these people spoke the same language as her, she was very grateful for that. The song of family, softer than usual, slipped into Juana’s head.

Ultimately I have to say that I enjoyed this overall experience. It has opened up my eyes to many different cultures and definitely different way of eating. Since my visit, I have bought and Asian inspired cook book and plan to make a few dishes with ingredients that are only found at Asian markets. Oh and next time I decided to go; I’ll make sure not to take my big

Just like every other young girl at the age of ten, I screamed and cried for the Jonas brothers as they sang “Burnin up” on my living room television. But, there was someone else who intriguingly caught my attention every night in that same living room, her name was Tricia. Tricia, the second oldest, blonde bombshell took the center of attention every night, as she dazzled everybody away with her college etiquette. Behind her beauty, honor roll achievements, and being the only member in our family to attend college, there was something else that I admired more than just Tricia herself; it was the “gibberish” she spoke. It wasn 't “goo-goo gaga” baby gibberish. Her “gibberish” was fluent, constant, bold, and captivating. She made every story sound interesting, and could keep her audience listening in awe. Tricia’s “gibberish” was state of the art vocabulary words I have never even heard before, words that I never even knew existed. She baffled me with her sentences containing words like; hackneyed, jubilation, and perfidious.

Respondent 9 mentioned that my first week, we were eating in restaurants, moving around Beijing, finding beautiful places, shopping all make us excited about Chinese life.

One of the things I liked about “Reporter Offers Free Cab Rides for Stories From 'Streets of Shanghai’” about how he offers a free ride for people around Shanghai. Frank noticed that Chinese people trusts the foreigners more than they trust themselves. I would have thought that Chinese people would be less trusting of foreigners. It is interesting that China redeems religion illegal that they allow underground churches such as the one Frank was invited to by his friend Chen.

Finally the air plane landed. When we got off the plane and into the airport our friends were waiting for us we were so happy to see them. Our friend’s names are Peter and Nenia. The only problem was that they didn’t speak English but we could understand enough German to communicate with them. My grandparents for example speak fluent German and they translated

The first step in planning your vacation is choosing the destination. Make sure that it is somewhere that you and/or your companion are going to enjoy. If you are planning to go out of the country, don’t forget that you will

Staying one week in San Francisco was pleasant I can visit my cousins, but at that time going Hong Kong was my priority. We took a night flight and stayed couple hours in the Taiwan airport to transfer another airplane. I remember I was frightened the airplane might take off without us, luckily nothing happened. Inside the airplane, I keep asking my mom and grandma are we there yet. In my memory, the aspect view from the airplane, the night of Hong Kong was gorgeous and spectacular.

My family had been invited to go with the Martin family out to one of the villages. We all piled into this tiny, twelve passenger plane. There were eleven people in the plane: the pilot, my mom, Dad, two brothers Eddie, John, and myself. The Martin’s family consisted of their mom, dad, and their three kids, Creston, Ethan, and Charis. The sorry excuse of a plane was overflowing with people and luggage, but somehow we managed to make it all fit.

"Alex hurry up before we leave you behind.”yelled dad. "I'm coming." I said picking up my guitar and violin. I ran down the stairs stopping by the door to look around one last time. My dad had just gotten a job promotion that required us to move, so we're leaving our small town in Ferndale Florida, to the big Apple New York. I picked up my box of songs and poems, that I didn't realize I put down, and put them in the trunk. I then picked up my kitten Louis, and got in the car. "How long is the drive," my little sister Lyssa asked. "About five hours," mom answered. "Great my butt will be numb in a matter of one hour," I groaned. "Will my piano be there by time we get there mom?” I asked. "Of course, we all know how crazy you'd be if you didn't have your instruments to play," mom replied. "That’s true, I'd go insane if I didn't have my babies with me," I said. After that everything went to being quiet, but the music playing in the background. About two and a half hours later, mom turned to us and asked “Do the two of you want to stop at Zaxby's for lunch?” “Sure that's cool,” we both replied. With that said, everything was once again quite, except for the sound of rumbling stomachs.
