Letters To The Editor - Hyphen Mag

Dear Harry,

I want to thank you and your team for coming down to our class and presenting us with an informative magazine about local and national Asian American culture. As i continued to read the magazines, I was impressed in the amount of value and effort put into them. Specifically, the featured story on public transportation here in the states and around the world. I have heard of many stories that point out how the Japanese public transport systems are heavily flooded with patrons on a day to day basis. but when you read word for word how close people in trains are to one another, it makes you think about how we take for granted our transit systems and how much of a phobia we have here when it comes to contact with other people. It was also very interesting to hear the story of the Muni rider that heard nothing but the drunken slurs of a fellow rider and how it may be uncomfortable to ride the trains and buses as well.
I have always been very interested in the Asian and Asian American culture, and i am very happy that there is another source out there that I can use to follow up on current events and lifestyles. who know maybe after some time I will consider becoming apart of your team and putting my touch on how I see the world, cultures and how I best fit into the whole picture. thanks, and keep on writing.
