My
American Friend: A Story of Friendship I still remember the day when I met my American friend, Justin, in college. He was enthusiastic, outgoing, and had a great sense of humor. We hit it off immediately and talked about everything from music to sports to our cultural differences. As we got to know each other better, I realized how much I had been missing out on by not having friends from other countries. Justin introduced me to new foods, music, and even taught me some American slang. In return, I taught him some Mandarin and introduced him to Chinese culture. One memorable experience we had together was when we visited a local Chinese restaurant. Justin was excited to try some authentic Chinese cuisine, but when he saw the chicken feet on the menu, he hesitated. I reassured him that it was a delicacy in China and convinced him to give it a try. To his surprise, he enjoyed it and even took a picture to show off to his friends back home. Over time, Justin and I became close friends and we shared many experiences together. We went on road trips, celebrated holidays, and supported each other through tough times. I learned so much from him and realized that despite our differences in race and culture, we were fundamentally the same. Our friendship has lasted beyond college and we still keep in touch. We may not talk as often as we used to, but whenever we catch up, it feels like we never missed a beat. I am grateful for our friendship and for the lessons it has taught me about acceptance, understanding, and the power of human connection. In conclusion, my American friend Justin has been a constant source of joy and enlightenment in my life. Our friendship has transcended borders and cultural differences and has reminded me that in a world that can be divided by politics and ideology, true friendship knows no boundaries.
