Orientation Weekend

Last weekend, I participated in an AFS orientation camp in Sursee.  I took a bus and two trains to get there with my friend from Brazil who lives in the same region of Switzerland as me.  I got to meet lots of new exchange students because our camp was mostly people from the Luzern German school and only a few from my language school in Zurich.  Our volunteers who ran the camp were also pretty cool because they were still pretty close to our ages.  We mostly played games but we also talked about AFS rules, went on a short hike, and went to a fair!  The fair was pretty fun.  I rode the ferris wheel and one other ride.  




 Today in language school, I had to give a presentation on Hawaii.  I made a slide with some pictures of the Big Island.  I had to google Hawaiian food for the presentation, and it made me realize how much I miss it.  I didn't even think I liked Hawaiian food that much, but I've realized since I left that Hawaiian food is a much broader category of food than I realized.  Of course I miss my family and friends too, but I (thankfully) can still talk to them. :)

 Ade!

    Maybe you could make something yummy and Hawaiian for your host family to try like chili and rice or kahlua cabbage, which is what we had for dinner tonight from the wildly entertaining LCPCS vs. HPA volleyball game.

      I was thinking of doing that because I miss it so much, but I don't know how to make it like the locals. Could you get a recipe for me? I think if I google it it will just be regular chili with pineapples or something haha :)
