Crossing Cultures

I was in a wedding on Dec. 20, so I went to get a manicure a few days before. I was in a huge hurry and visited the nail salon inside Wal-Mart. It is operated by Vietnamese people. After explaining what I wanted, the pampering began!

While I was there, a Hispanic woman came in and asked a question (in broken English) about one of the services offered. The Vietnamese woman answered her, in broken English. It was interesting to me, a white girl from small town America, to see these two cultures communicating. I know it happens every day, but it made me smile to see it. I am proud to live in the United States, the melting pot of the world!
