✦ “Last year I relocated to the United States to further my career as a hair stylist. It was a huge adjustment for me. New idioms, new surroundings, driving on the other side of the road… I felt lost and lonely. That is, until I received a parcel from home. Mum knew I was experiencing a culture shock, so she included a bit of home. One of the items inside was My Weekly. I used to read it when I was younger, after Mum had finished with it. Now I cannot wait until it appears in my postal box – and neither can my fellow salon employees. Thanks My Weekly – bringing a bit of home to my life in the US!” Lukas
