The introductory paragraph
Answer:
Yes, I have. The first time that I went overseas was to Japan in the summer of 2011 for a vacation with my family and friends. When we got off the plane, it took us awhile to figure out what to do because there were many people speaking Japanese around us. It made me feel uneasy because none of them spoke English, which meant that I couldn't understand any of their conversations or directions. They also wore clothing that looked very different from anything that I had seen before, like kimonos and hakama pants. Also, they ate differently than I did. We could not find any food that resembled American fast food restaurants, but instead found more traditional Japanese foods such as sushi and teriyaki. After several days, I finally started to adjust to the new environment. As the days passed by, I realized that this country was just like America in many ways. For example, I quickly learned how to get around Tokyo without looking lost.

The speaker suddenly saw a thrush singing a song.
Explanation:
The Darkling Thrush is a english poem written by Thomas Hardy. The speaker in this poem describes about the cause for despair and hoplessness.
The speaker suddenly saw a thrush(bird) singing a beautiful and hopeful song and it knows something more than the speaker.
The bird was old, skinny and small with his feathers rumpled by the wind. The thrush's appearance in the poem suggests a solution to the cultural decay that the speaker tells in the first half of the poem.
