His intermediate English level couldn't fully support him to understand menus, order food, and have a conversation at a local market or restaurants. He even couldn't find authentic Mexican tacos. He missed his mom’s cooking so badly.

His parents encouraged him not to give up and they would be his solid back with their unconditional love. Manuel didn't want to let his parents down. He told himself that he would lose this hard-earned opportunity if he couldn't overcome the food challenge. He started learning cooking, asking recipes from his mom. He tried harder to improve his English. He made friends, just like him, FOBs, from different countries. He finally found his way to suit himself into this new land, having a positive attitude and an open mind.  (Read the full story: http://bit.ly/2qM4yhW)
