Australian bbq I and II, chinese dinner and some new fruits.

Food is something new, different and usually delicious while you are traveling. It always shows part of the culture of a group of people or it represents part of the culture from a place. I remember once someone told me that is not only important if you like or not a specific food, it is important know why people have chosen that food to represent them culture… Someone who have tasted sushi knows that Japaneses used the rice to fermented fish, then it was taken out of the rice and only the fish was consumed?

On Tuesday 23rd we went to a bbq with the first family that hosted us, it was beautiful. They had invited friends and relatives because we were going, for us was like Christmas. Vaughn cooked a great bbq and we had the opportunity to taste kangaroo (there are 26 millions of aussies and 58 million kangaroos, that I don´t know how they census them). For dessert we had toasted bananas with ice cream and maple.

Our second bbq was in Saad´s house, a good friend from Saudi Arabia, who is Juan´s classmate. In one moment we were more than 18 and there were people from all over the world.

Yesterday we had a delicious spice chinese dinner with friends from Taiwan, we drank oolong tea and plum juice whit more than 5 different traditional meals. I really don´t know what I have eaten but it was fantastic and today I feel well.

Some new fruits that I have tasted while I´m traveling are:
Pepino melon
Passion fruit
Carambola
