I first moved to United States as a foreign exchange student and I was 16 years old. I moved to the state of Montana. Montana was the first state in America for me to ever visit. I wasn't familiar with the American culture. I didn't know a lot about American holidays, American food and American way of dressing. Eventhough I encountered a lot of cultural differences I am a strong beliver that every culure is unique and beatiful in its own way.
On my first day of High School as a foreign ecxhange I was very excited. I wanted to look good and make an imresson. I wore a nice shirt, a pair of nice pants and a pair of high hill shoes. The school was very small and everyone knew each other. I walked in the hollway and everyone was looking at me. And I was looking at them too. I realized a few minutes later that they were staring at my high hill shoes and I was staring at few students that were wearing pajams and flip flops. I was shocked to see that students in that high school were allowed to wear pajamas. The rest of the students were shocked to see that I was wearing high hills. One thing I realized , people in that community cared more about being confortable than looking good. After a few months I joined them too. I stared wearing flip flops too. They were shocked to see me change and adobt to their way of dressing. In a cute and funny way some of my friends used to call me "the flip flop European girl". I refused to wear pajams on regular school days, but I did wear my pajams on the pajama day. I loved my experience there and I also staret too love the way everyone used to dress. Comfortable was the magic word.
