Hi everyone! How are you? We are going back to Japan in less than 2 month. Time has passed so fast.  In ICTE, the new session started last week.  I’m in GE6 now and there are many Japanese.  However, they are very motivated and they inspired me.

Today, I am going to talk about culture-related topic.

This week, our class had a lunch party and everyone brought some foods and snacks which are popular in each country.  I enjoyed eating Chinese and Korean and so on. 

 And also、my host mother was born in Brisbane, so she is a native English speaker.  She makes a lot of kinds of dish such as Chinese (gelatin noodles, spring rain), Japanese (rice, sushi).  However, her mother is not a native speaker.  To listen to her English it is like Spanish English.  She sometimes cooks dinner for us, and she makes different and unique one.  It is difficult to describe, but it is like a South American foods.

 

Therefore, I can eat four different types (Australian, Japanese, Chinese and grandmother’s foods) of foods in my house.  In Brisbane, there are also many types of foods such as Mexican or Vietnamese.  Each food court has at least one Indian and Chinese restaurant.  I heard that sushi was not so popular 10 years ago, but it has been becoming famous recently. 

In conclusion, I found that Australia is really multicultural country and people accept differences each other.  I’m glad to have many opportunities to try foods from quite a few countries.
