Today the discussion in the class was based in food. Was so interesting find out where the famous dishes are actually from, because sometimes we know the food and thinks it's from one country and came that it's from other totally different. It's amazing how globalization play an important roll when we talk about food, because people are familiarize with many types of food and like a lot to try other internationals options at the time to have a meal.
Of course isn't the same have for example Mexican food in America than in Mexico because the taste it's a little different......

Somethings that impress me about American Culture

I think Venezuelan people have absorbed too many things about American culture, but we still are more alike to Europeans in the way we live our lives and tough about the future. One thing very shocking to me was the fact that when you go to a restaurant in America and finished your food, the waiter automatically give you the bill without ask if you are done or maybe want a cup of coffee or desert. In my country it's very different, you have to ask about the bill and then you get it, but only if you've already ask for it.
Other thing that it's remarkable for me about Americans, it's the way they say hello, they don't kiss each other in the cheek. It has been really weird to me not to greet my home stay for example with a kiss and sometimes there a very awkward moment between us because I don't know what to do, and perhaps she feels uncomfortable if I give her a kiss.

Mix of Cultures

Today my class changes a lot, I've been separate from many of my classmates and now I have new ones. Sincerely I miss them a lot, I think we were an excellent  group but it's a new chance to meet other people. For example today I was working with Su, and with an activity class I could know her better and knew what are the differences between us. Right know we are in the same phase of our lives because we want to improve our English and meet some new people for different parts of the world, but in a couple of months we'll be in a very different stage, because she wants to continue her studies and I'm done with that, I don't want to see books for a while hahaha.... Besides that we'll not be in the interchange phase.

It's kind of funny that we are really different because she is an artist person and I'm a scientist one. We have very dissimilar likes, she is so good at language, writing and reading stuff...I'm not at all!!! hahaha I prefer math, physics and chemistry, I don't like so much to read, at least would be a very interesting book or article. 

Even though we are very opposite in hobbies and tastes, we are very alike in personality, we both consider ourselves very sensitives and looking the same thing in a friend : that she/he can support us.  

It's a little sad not to be with your old classmates but It's so good meet new people and learn more about themselves.
