Suppose that you had to stay in a foreign country for at least one
year or so, how do you think you would be influenced by the nation's culture or costume?　If not, tell me why.

Well, I will be influenced very much.
Actually when I used to live in Los Angeles for about one year,
I would often wear reddish shirts which I had never put on before then.
I felt much freer in LA than in Japan, which means I was influenced
by the atmosphere of LA culture.
And, additionally, now, I often wear a reddish shirt.
