What is it like living with an American?
 
Believe me, I never be with a person of a good behavior like an American, she got respect to the parents and to everyone. She obey the rules and regulations which is in the house. People in our village are saying that an American is different person, because she can’t pass at you without say ‘hi’ to you. And she always smiling if you meet with her.
