Wouldn ' t You Give Your Hand to a Friend? America is not a melting pot; it ' s a jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces are old, some are newer. But there were two seniors who were brand new pieces: Camilla Frank from Sweden and Mika Kato from Japan. Frank was in Riverside with her family. Her father was a statistics professor, at UCR on sabbatical. She had previously graduated from her school in Lund, Sweden, and was expanding her education by attending North and then taking courses at UCR in the spring. As her first impression of California she said, It is very hard to get to know people. They are cold. And the weather is so different (from what she had heard.) It is much like Sweden. Kato was one of 200 Japanese students sent to the U.S through a foreign tour organization in Japan. Her home, Sendai, is Riverside ' s sister city in northern Japan. Kato didn ' t speak English very well so she answered questions through an interpreter. When asked what she liked about California she observed that California had so many big and beautiful sights. America was so huge and wide compared to Japan. She also pointed out that nobody seemed interested in her, a student from another country. At her school in Japan, a student from another country was treated specially. Everyone noticed the difference and was interested and kind. Here, she just blended in as a ' Japanese- American. ' Nobody ever lost their identity, they just became another piece in the puzzle of America. Having left their heavy clothes in their native countries both Mika Kato and Camilla Frank were caught unprepared for Southern California winter weather. 1 .
