My Australia experiences

by Ayaka A.
(Edogawa, Tokyo)

To tell the truth, I have been to Australia for ten days when I was a junior high school student. I live in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward and I went to the city of Gosford between Sydney and Castle, which is a sister city of Edogawa Ward.

All things I saw and felt were very freshness and interesting!!

For example, there was time to have a snack before lunch. And I was prepared a raw carrot as a snack by my host mother !! Of course, it was very tough!!

And the traffic lights are also complex. I felt a lot of difference of culture between Australia and Japan.

But my host family challenged to cook “Sukiyaki” as supper for me. Surprisingly, “Somen” was in it. I haven’t experienced that before, but it was very delicious!!!

I gave them a Japanese traditional costume, what is called “Happi.” So, we could exchange each other’s culture.

These experiences are my treasure, including bitter experiences!!

That’s all. Thank you very much for reading.
