Pics: Saki, Japanese snacks, Saki making a Japanese meal, and Origami
Last Wednesday our foreign exchange student Saki arrived. It was really awkward at first because she hardly knew any English and it was hard to communicate with her. After the first night it got better and she started talking a little more. We went out of our way to give her opportunities to experience America and Utah. We took her to Sam's club on Saturday so she could try free samples and she was wowed by how big the store was. Saki loved macaroni and cheese and grapefruit. We took her shopping at Gate way mall, to a dance performance, to a mexican restaurant, and to temple square among other places. I think she had a good time and really enjoyed her stay.
On Sunday she asked if she could prepare some Japanese food for us. She made us Miso soup, rice with seaweed and salmon on top, and rice cake for dessert. The food was actually pretty good. The rice cake was really weird though and it's difficult to describe how it tasted. After dinner Saki taught us how to do origami and fold a paper crane. It's harder than it looks! She was really good at it.
It was a great experiance for me and I'm so glad that I was able to be home while Saki was there. I learned a lot and it turned out to be a good spring break!
