It seems obvious that it's memories of her experience when she first arrived in America.
I like the song, because I felt the same way when we came to America. We lived in a hotel first - yeah, also with a foldout couch, now that I think of it. Haha! And then the company my dad worked for let us rent a house, and being in that weird new American neighborhood was like being in a fantasy story.
On the airplane, I played with the kids' toys that the airline gave me.
There's a verse there, I think she's referring to how, when immigrants come in as young children, they become Americanized, think the American way.
It's not that the American way is bad, but I'm glad we went back to my own country before I was too Americanized. Cultural identity is a strange thing.
