  10. Status and Familiarity A Question for Miss Yoshikawa That was an excellent presentation. You and Dr. Nagai must have worked very hard on this. Theresa Miss. Yoshikawa I was very honored to be asked by Dr. Nagai to assist him on this project. He’s my thesis advisor, you know. Theresa Well, you were very good. He’s lucky to have found you. I had a question about a point you made at the end. Miss. Yoshikawa Yes, of course. Let me just get Dr. Nagai. Theresa Oh, don’t bother him; he’s talking to some other people. Anyway, it’s about a point that you made Miss. Yoshikawa I see. Can I get you some tea? Craig Storti, Cross-cultural Dialogues (Yarmouth, Maine: Intercultural Press, 1994), p. 47.
