May 2010 – Western Food Report
Hi Culture Linkers,
Well, you rocked the place again!
Recipe: take one part western food, add a bunch of Culture Linkers, stir in a couple of quirky and crazy activities, sprinkle lightly with Choco pies and M&M’s, warm in the glow of the Boss and you have a great lesson!
So we learnt about haggis and borscht, Dover sole and Shepherd’s pie, cauliflower cheese and apple crumble, goulash and feijoada and how to make Yorkshire pudding. And we discovered that Western Food is more than hamburgers and pizza and French fries. We travelled the world from the comfort of our class-room and tasted what the Western world has to offer. Oh and we munched on choco-pies and fruit jellies and competed for Language Link t-shirts.
Then it was off to Casa Mia, a gem of a cafe with great staff and an awesome manager, Tien. The food was excellent, thanks to the very talented chef, the service impeccable and we had the entire second floor to ourselves. From the singing and laughter, empty plates and many photos I know you all had a great time.
And finally we headed for Lang Pagoda and the finale to a great day. In groups of four you searched the area looking for the answers to the very tricky questions posed by Mr. Sunglasses and Miss Incredible. Though you all tried hard there could be only one winner; Team Butterfly with a score of 12 out of a possible 16. Congratulations to Tran Thi Hong Van, Tran Le Phuy, Nguyen Thuy Trang and Pham Quiynh Trang who won the dictionaries.
Now, to the sad part. This was my last Culture Link. I have had a great time, met some incredible people and have a mind full of great memories. Thank you all for being a part of the journey as Culture Link grew and for having a load of fun along the way. Special thanks to Yvonne and Elaine, Thuy Anh (Miss Incredible) and my Monthly English Group. It’s been a cool ride guys and what a way to say goodbye!!
Goodbye from the Boss (Mr.Sunglasses)
P.S. I may drop in and surprise you on some future Culture Link Sunday.
