God Grew Tired of Us Part 2

Today in class, we resumed God Grew Tired of Us. We start with John and Daniel go to Pittsburgh PA while Panther goes to Syracuse New York, home of the Syracuse Orange. They are all part of this program where the US pays for them for 3 months but after 3 months they have to get a job and live the way they are suppose to live and repay there debt for the plane travel. When they first arrive, a man introduced them to the refrigerator, toilet, lamp, shower, electricity uses, and kitchen uses. When they are out in public, they do awkward things (in Americans heads). When the Sudanians were sitting down one on one, they explained that they did that to hold on to African culture. The Africans may be living in America and have to act American to blend in but they grew up in Africa and to them that's home and they don't want to let it go.
