Other students

It has been neat being in such a multicultural city. Just walking down the street you can see people from all kinds of cultures. What is also interesting is the other students at our school. That all have very interesting backgrounds. I have noticed the people from Germany have trouble pronouncing the "v" sound. The students from England and Australia have trouble distinguishing from different kinds of "E" sounds. Americans have a lot of trouble with the french "r" sound, of which the germans have no trouble. Today we had the traditional "galette des rois". It is a dessert dish the french eat on January 6th in celebration of the Kings (rois) finding Jesus. There is a small toy in the desert and the person who gets the piece with the small toy gets to be the king or queen that day and choose who will wear the paper crown that came with it. It was pretty good and reminded me of buttermilk pie, not as good as Mema's.
