haha D would do that. She had a good Japanese friend. And if she saw another Japanese girl, she would almost go up to say hi and then stop when she realises it wasn't her. D loves that book, "one world, our world'. I know... I am nervous about how I would react!

I remember feeling completely out of place growing up in Rome, international school, where all my classmates were of mixed race. I was the only one who was just Indian, not Italian-American or Chinese-Brit, etc. I remember feeling so bad about it. None of my friends taunted me about it or anything. So, can't imagine how painful that experience for you must have been!
