Multicultural Stories

I have been interviewing people from all over the world (Brazil, Kazakhstan, Australia, India, France Germany, Italy, England, Thailand, Iran and USA) to uncover their stories and how they came to live together in Michigan. I have found some fascinating cultural differences between their countries and America... how quiet it is compared to India; how my friends from Kazakhstan miss eating horse meat; in Thailand you must take your shoes off to go inside; in Brazil everyone goes home at lunchtime to eat with the family; and the English use ridiculous words like nappy and hoover!
