Brian: Do you find that there's a lot of humor these days in your life, as far as your job or with your personal relationships? And how do you feel about that? Do you find that, living here, that you have more humor, or do you miss the humor back home?

Julie: Mmmm, I think it's a trade-off. I think I have more humor in my work. I laugh a lot at work, but I think I have less humor in my life. I feel like the, sometimes I feel society gets me a little bit too serious.

Brian: Don't you miss your friends sometimes back home? Not missing your friends -- I mean missing their humor, missing their jokes. You know, living with them and growing up with them for so many years, you understand one sense of humor, and then when you come to another country, you're meeting a whole wide new range of people with a different sense of humor, so you have to adjust to their humor.
