Pg. 17 "Because we were new to this country, we were impressed not just by the big attractions but also by the little things--smiling employees, clean bathrooms, and clear signage."
I chose this quote because America has a lot of big attractions, but to hear that they were even impressed by the little things was a little new to hear. Normally when people travel they go to all of the big sightings, at least that's what my family does, but I never really thought about just the plain environment that is new too and could definitely impress people coming from a whole different country.
Pg. 21 "Despite the belief of most Westerners that all Middle Easterners look alike, we can pick each other out of a crowd as easily as my Japanese friends pick out their own from a crowd of Asians."
I found this interesting because she explains that it is like they have a radio frequency that only other Iranians pick up. Many nationalities look very similar, sometimes it is hard for me to tell British from American because we look extremely alike.
