ZAINUB HUSSAIN'S FIRST DAY

TRANSCRIPT

Hi my name is Zainub Hussain and my current age is 46 years old, living in Detroit, Michigan. First time when I entered United States, I was 25 years old. Got married and flew from Karachi, Pakistan straight out to United States of America. Our arrival city was Detroit. The airport was crowded, busy and pretty cold when I came in the month of January. So a pretty harsh winter - I never experienced in Karachi, Pakistan, since it doesn't have that kind of a climate. So I guess it was pretty depressing. Hmm... what else. Since we got married and came here to Detroit, our location was first an apartment in Farmington Hills. We got a surprise visit from all of our friends in our apartment. This was kind of a cute thing. And I hated the coffee, though I use to love coffee in Pakistan. But here, Americans have a taste of black coffee, I guess, which I really don't like. So, I got a kind of a dislike of coffee from that day. And, that's it I guess.
