Every Christmas, I think about Julie Smit. As a 16-year-old in 1994, Julia wrote a first-person article about her life for L.A. Youth, a nonprofit newspaper written by and for Los Angeles teenagers. It started like this: “As a couple of friends and I cruised down an alley to find a spot to kick back and smoke a joint, we saw a head with long blond hair pop up from a dumpster. In front of the dumpster was an old 10-speed that had been put together piece by piece. Every piece on the bike was a different color. Someone said, ‘Oh! That’s only one of those dumpster divers.’ ‘That’s no dumpster diver,’ I said. ‘That’s my mother.’

After my visit to the Philippines, I started to feel that mastering these things was not enough:even if I could complain about the traffic like a typical Angeleno or declare In-N-Out as the best burger I’ve ever tasted, I could only feel completely at home living in the Philippines.
