When you are living in a foreign land, you kinda light up.. when you walk into a restaurant.. and find someone from home.  You try to connect and you ask them.. why and when they arrived here and then you exchange stories.  I hear that jobs in Atlanta actually enticed alot of professioinals like chefs and bakers from Asia, so if you are traveling around that area.. and you find someone from home, you shouldn’t be too, too surprised.
