- Being an immigrant in the United States I can understand the importance of culture to its people. I have always been fascinated by cultural rituals performed by different societies.

- Have you ever wondered why the Ainu people, originating from parts of Japan and Russia, have a custom of sacrificing bears. Or why Mexicans celebrate New Years Eve by eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight. Because I have.

- I have found myself enthralled by, and thriving on learning and understanding new things about places that I don't already know. For these reasons and more I am truly passionate about culture.
