It sure is a beautiful reunion.
Let's hope after the culture shock, Halimah is able to fit in, in Eskimo land.
Non religious awkwardness should be OK. In the more urban US cities, they have synagogues being used as mosques which could frighten off Sarawakians and Malaysians especially politicians of both divides!
She was born in New York and that being back in the US may jog her memories.
But she has courage to make the attempt. Let's hope she can make it. She has tertiary computer training which should help her employment prospects.
