The class is great again! I really like the school now. The student’s English level is high, they not only understand what I am saying, they even ask questions about my video, my presentation and my language. =) I’ve played the Cookie Monster game with some of the not so active classes (as we have time left after the presentation), and it is great to see that all of them get the point of the game at the end (which is that although we come from different cultures and different countries, we all share something in common).
In the afternoon, we have a cooking session! It is sooooooooo fun! Denise kept emphasizing that she is a terrible cook, so she decide to make carrot cake as it is easy ;) Adi is cooking aloo prathe and I am thinking of cooking traditional Chinese food like fried green pepper with pork （青椒炒肉丝）, tomato with scrambled eggs （西红柿炒鸡蛋）and Cucmber Salad (name given by our dear Denise =), in Chinese, 凉拌黄瓜） During shopping, Adi and I really have some problems finding spices for our dishes. Their vinegar is so weird, it’s something like white vinegar, but with garlic inside, and it smells weird too! But luckily we have no problem finding garlic, ginger and soy sauce. =)
During the cooking, a looooooooot of students come to help, so we almost didn’t do anything during the preparation stage. We have people helping with cutting all the vegetables, meat, garlic and ginger. But to be honest, their cucumber and pork slices are really huge in size ;), but it’s okie =) Denise’s cake is delicious, not so sweet (as the cocoa powder didn’t work), so even the guys like it! Adi’s aloo prathe is also cool, it’s prata with smashed potatos inside, all gals have a lot of fun playing with the flour. My dishes turn out to be not bad either! =) And before we start eating, Maciek asked us how to say “Smachnego” in our language and everyone of us eating, Maciek asked us how to say “Smachnego” in our language and everyone of us say that together in Portugal and Chinese to each other (Our hardworking Adi was still in the kitchen cooking). Haha, actually I have a hard time thinking how to say it in Chinese, then in the end I come out with something like CHI GE HAO FAN (吃个好饭) =P
