Maria: why don't you post this as a monolingual English question? I am sure you will get many suggestions on how to make the sentence sound more "native."
Refugio Jun 15, 2006:
You make a good point, Elizabeth. If the word "discovering" is to be used, the word "more" needs to accompany it, since once one has been surprised and attracted by American culture, one has already "discovered" it.
Elizabeth Lyons Jun 15, 2006:
Is this a duplicate of your earlier question? The whole sentence needs to be re-written. The last phrase should be "that is why I am so drawn to it" or "so interested in knowing/learning/discovering more about it".

¡Perdón!, acabo de darme cuenta de que no es una traducción al español.
Note from asker:
si, lo que quiero es un consejo sobre la estructura en inglés.... suena bien o suena extraño en inglés? Gracias!
