Gregory and his family are moving to Japan for his dads job. After the long flight, they arrive at their new apartment. Gregory is surprised to find lots of things that are different: he needs to remove his shoes and wear slippers, he has to sit on pillows at the table, and he has to take a shower before getting into the bathtub! As Gregorys dad points out, Thats the way they do it in Japan. When Gregory starts school, hes afraid that the kids wont like him. That morning, he works hard writing the letters of the Japanese alphabet and is glad when its time for lunch. But hes embarrassed when he takes out his peanut butter sandwich and sees everyone else eating rice and soybeans. Gregory wonders if hell ever fit in.
