Cross cultural twins

Sometimes you meet a person over here who is just a Japanese version of an Aussie. Even though they obviously look asian, they just have this uncanny similarity to a westerner. The grade 5 teacher here doesn't so much look like someone I know, but her voice is almost exactly the same as one of the aunts from the TV show Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Not that I have watched this show a lot, but the few times that I did, I immediately noticed the interesting tone of this woman's voice, the kind of voice you could listen to all day I think. Not the fat aunt who currently hosts Biggest Loser, the other one. Anyway, Kushino-sensei's voice has the same qualities so I often find myself just listening to the melody of her speech, rather than the content of it.
