I have been in the USA for almost 4 years and what I at first thought was strange became part of my daily life and with time I just embraced the culture as my own. It is even hard to think about the things that I thought were strange but seeing my father looking at things and making remarks about the differences in culture, makes me remember how it was when I got here.
Two weekends ago my host family took my father to visit the Amish. It was a very interesting experience. I thought he would be amazed to see the Amish but he was not, he was fascinated by the snow removal truck more than anything else. That day was the first day we had snow in a long time and he really liked it.
Having him around is like having an exchange student because he thinks everything is strange here but for me is like “home”.
