I met an unusual couple today.  He was Lao.  She was Japanese - very fat, loud and goofy - all characteristics that don't seem particularly 'Japanese'.  I guess this illustrates the dangers of stereotypes!  They had been continuing an international long distance romance for several years - by email and through visits.  Even more amazing, the only language they had in common was really bad English.  They had just spent the night at his family's village and she was absolutely covered with mosquito bites.  Love really does conquer all.
