We had "Welcome BBQ" for Yassan, Satomi's just-married-husband from Japan.
He moved to NY from Kyoto where he had his own business. He closed his successful business, sold his machines at his factory and came here to be her husband.
I was thinking back 1999 when I came to NY.
No friends and nowhere to belong. Though it was very refreshing to me to experience like that as an adult first, it sometimes hurt me.
I felt like I became a baby, I produced nothing and I sometimes had to make sure that I was not invisible.
I must say I was lucky enough to find what I wanted to pursue. It was after I moved to NY that I decided to study jewelry design at FIT.
