This is not America

Youssef arrived in DC around dinner time. He was picked up by two Grad students, one typical american and the other a british fellow. They were a bit uneasy at first. On the way to the university campus they stopped at a pizza place.

Youssef was amazed at the atmosphere, the people, the laughter, the free spirit, the music in the background was great. As soon as they stepped in the song being played was “This is not America”, by the Pat Metheny band, which he particularly liked. The coincidence was quite interesting, he thought. He was in America, at last.
