  2. As an immigrant to the USA, I love this post. I can understand the myth #6 though, because it takes so long to become a US citizen and therefore you are excluded from so many things.
    Please check out my blog-- it's for a project for university. I'm gathering superstitions about objects from different cultures. If you could comment I would really appreciate it!
