Sofija Stefanovic: 我独自一人搬到纽约，感到有些孤独。为了给来访的朋友庆祝生日，我带她去了一家俄罗斯浴室。在那里，一位名叫Sonia的俄罗斯妇女试图向我们推销额外的服务。我虽然听得懂俄语，但Sonia并没有意识到这一点，仍然试图欺骗我们。我感到非常生气，不仅仅是因为她试图推销，还因为我在这位妇女身上看到了家乡的影子，这让我感到一丝亲切。我甚至幻想能和她成为一伙，得到她的认可。但最终，我意识到我们之间存在着文化和语言的障碍，我无法融入她的世界。虽然没有发生冲突，但这次经历让我更加深刻地体会到身处异乡的孤独感，以及对文化认同的渴望。最后，我点了她做的炖菜，味道有点像家，这让我感到一丝安慰。
