Daniel Nahery moved to Oklahoma from Iran as a young boy.

And one of the first things he remembers about coming to America

was the peculiar shape of a potato chip.

The very first morning we woke up and the wonderful woman

who had taken us in had served sandwiches.

We had slept in.

I was very jet lagged.

And on the plate were these chips I had never seen before.

And they were all the same shape and they nested into one another.

And I could not believe that America had chips like this.

Of course they were pringles.

Nahery told my colleague Elsa Chang that the discovery of pringles

on his first day in America shocked him.

Just one of many cultural shocks that this Iranian refugee would experience.

When you're a refugee in a place that's a little bit more homogeneous,

I think the first question you end up getting asked over and over again is,

what are you doing here?

And you end up having to tell the story over and over again,

which is sort of where my love of storytelling began.

Nahery fled Iran along with his sister and mother

because his mother converted from Islam to Christianity, which was a crime.

She had sort of joined the Underground Church
