Henry is a guy who loves to travel and meet new people from all around the world. Despite the fact that he has been to almost every country in Europe and US, the continent of Asia is the only place left he has never travel too. So Henry chooses Japan as his first place to visit. <br />Coming to Japan for the first time, Henry has already made a plan to eat at the restaurant near his hotel because of the sushi, a Japan traditional cuisine, was on this restaurant’s popular menu. Henry then met a waitress, who from his point of view, looked Japanese; judging from the Kimono she wore and her Asian feature, also her fluency in Japan language coupled with the result of her presence in Japan is obvious that she is Japanese. So as a result, Henry forms the following belief that this woman in Kimono is Japanese, because she looks and speaks in Japanese base on the kimono and also her presence here in Japan.<br />The next day Henry came back to this restaurant planning to try other sushi that he did not taste yet. Then he notices that the waitress he met yesterday was giving her Passport to the police. And he overheard them talking about the immigration issues that she is American. But she is living with her parents in Japan. Then he asked her, if she is American or Japanese and she said she was born in America but her parents are Japanese. <br />
