Local fairでCheese curdsをたべたことがあります。

I thought that it was interesting that Maya said that Americans are more friendly than Japanese people, which was part of her reason why she likes America. When I was in Japan, everyone seemed so happy! Maya said that store clerks are supposed to be happy because they will get in trouble by their boss. My thoughts were that people were happy in public, even if something was bothering them, because it was no one else problem but their own. So when they were at home, they could show their true feelings like sadness or anger. I thought this because my host mom seemed so cranky at home but was so nice when we went shopping!

I'm also happy that Maya had Cheese Curds! I think it's one thing that makes the Midwest unique. Even people from neighboring states don't know what cheese curds are!
