I am from Lima, Perú, but the point you have made about your name are, surely, lived (initially suffered) by all Nikkei wanting to integrate themselves to their societies. I fully understood the comparisons because my native language is Spanish.<br /> So, I agree with you about your way to take those extranged attitudes of people who do not know, less understand, the origins of our cultural heritage; but also we must be alike in some ways when talking about their way of life, that is why everything should be taken with sense of humor.<br /> I have read your articles, and think they are all interesting.<br /> I will be posting, in Spanish, probably in may 08.<br /> Diseñador Publicitario, Artista Aficionado, Columnista Prensa Nikkei<br /> www.cajoncreativo.com, BLOG victornishioyasuoka.wordpress.com<br /> Lima, Perú</p> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:00:01 -0700 Victor Nishio Yasuoka comment 645 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/en/node/2129 <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/Simone Fujita.jpg" title="View: Simone Fujita.jpg"><img style="width: px; height:px;" src="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/Simone Fujita.jpg" class="inline" alt="Simone Fujita.jpg" title="Simone Fujita.jpg" /></a></p> <h2>Greetings from New York!</h2> <p>By Simone Momoye Fujita<br /> <br></p> <p>Hello, and welcome! My name is Simone Momoye Fujita, and I will be writing a new column for Discover Nikkei entitled <em>Little Momo in the Big Apple</em>. This bi-monthly column will be a series of reflections upon my current and past adventures living in New York City, written from the perspective of a Nikkei, an American, an Asian American, a native Californian, a Japanese American (<em>yonsei</em>), a twenty-eight year old woman, and a hapa all rolled into one – me! These writings will include anecdotes, observations, and musings related to identity, culture, race relations, and Japanese American history, just to name a few. I will be connecting each article back to the Nikkei experience, and I invite you, the reader, to comment and share your own experiences and insights with the Discover Nikkei community and me. By sharing my particular perspective in this column, writing from my adopted East Coast home, I hope to shed new light on Nikkei life having experienced it within two distinct American cities (New York and Los Angeles).</p> <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/en/node/2129">read more</a></p> http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/en/node/2129#comment Little Momo in the Big Apple Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:42:51 -0800 editor 2129 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum
