Foods from Around the World

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four people's experiences with foreign food.

Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. \never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn't manage more than one bite. I love ice cream,though, and that's made from milk.\

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. \was in a restaurant that specialized in fish,and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it

out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.\ Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. \frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I'm a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It's a sacred

animal to Hindus, so that's the reason I can't eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs.\

Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. \me some 100-year-old eggs to eat.I didn't like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The

3

Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren't really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them.\ Life in a new country can be scary, but it also can be fun. Would you sample a 100-year-old egg? Would you order shark in a restaurant?

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge (知识). If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.

●Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn't walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily.

●Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back.

●If you are followed by someone you don't know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don't go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a life (电梯)

●If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don't sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don't sleep.
