While in Miami, I had a great conversation with a half Swedish, half Spaniard lady named Magali Palacio. It was great to get a chance to talk with someone as acculturated as her. She spoke fluent English, Spanish, Swedish, and French, and had lived in Spain, Cuba, Sweden, France, and now the U.S. It was great to hear about how different things are in all the countries she had lived in, and especially great to hear her say how much better the U.S. was than anywhere else.
