Blog Topic 6: Thanksgiving


Tell us about your experience of Thanksgiving in America.  What did you see, hear, and taste?  What were you expecting?  Do you have a similar holiday in your culture?  Do you still have questions about Thanksgiving? 

During Thanksgiving, I spent time with my host family. My host mother made sixth kinds of dishes included roasted turkey. It's was really fun time with talking about our memories with a bottle of wine. It was first time to eat turkey. It was similar flavor with chicken. But, Thanksgiving was somehow different from my imagination because my friend told me that they make various dishes over 10. Actually, my home country doesn't have a event like Thanksgiving but It is a little bit similar with Korean harvest day.

Topic 5: Halloween

Topic 5: Halloween

This class is blogging very well. I really enjoy reading your thoughts!

I'm curious about your reactions to and experience of Halloween in California. Think back on the last week and write a blog about Halloween. What did you experience? What stood out? Did anything surprise you or scare you?


          During Halloween, unfortunately I just do my assignments because I had two second midterm test in  31, October. But I could experienced part of Halloween culture becaise lots of kids who wear costume such as spiderman, ironman, vampire, and etc visited my house and then they told me trick or treat. I replied them trick as a joking so some of them embarrased. After doing joking, I gave them chocolate and candy with taking pictures. when I let three kids bring chocolate candy by themselves, they brought about half of those. So after their case, I gave chocolate and candy for them on my hands to preventing them from getting too many things. It was really impressive memory, because my country don't have Halloween event.
