Last Friday was cloudy and rainy. I went to the American house which held a party for the international students. I really like to meet the other students who have different culures and values. It was a chance to meet not only Interlink sutdent, but also the International students. Also I really like to enjoy food, and I heard that they would offer the American dinner for us. It made me excited.
I went to the American's house with Samuel, Rita and Hanseul by car. Because we went to the house early, we had to wait for the other students. While we waited for the students, I met the house owner, Tom. He was really kind and tried to remember my Korean name. It was hard to remember, especially for Americans, but he did it. After 20 minutes, almost 40 people were in the house. I met French, Spanish, Nigerian, and so on. It was special for me. We shook hands and introduced our name to each other.
Then, we had dinner. I thought that American food was only Hamburgers, Fired potatoes, and so on. However, it wasn't.I could try the hash potato with cheese, muffins, chickens, etc. I enjoyed this food with conversation. Some Americans introduced her church to me because I had an interest of the difference between Korean and American church. They were so kind and polite. I enjoyed that time.
After dinner, we had a discussion time. It taught me about the American common sense. An old American was cautious of our discussion. He maintained his opinion which is based on Christ. At that time, I caught the American is based on Puritanism, also I heard a lot of opinions from students who are from different country. I alwasy thought that diversity was the important thing of democratic country, and at that time, I felt that through the students who have different assertions.
That party reminded me a lot of things. I felt the difference and diversity through that party. It was really great experience
