Glad you feel like a good start in Los Angeles, Alex. I feel the same way in your story in a different setting. I grew up in China with all the same race and culture around me, and I came to the United States as an exchange student in Abbeville, Louisiana. It looks so much like the pics you show, a small town where everyone knows each other. I live in all black, very few white and 3 Asian(we are all exchange student) town. I felt like an outsider as I am only Asian there in the school. I am in Los Angeles now, and my exchange experience has to put in more dynamic content and perspective for me, especially to see what is happening around us now.
