We as a family everyday sit together to do dinner. No matter how our days were, we always eat dinner together. We share how our days were & share some funny jokes. I like that about my family & culture.

My friends and I love to go to cafes and order weird dishes off the menu just so we can try new dishes. Afterwards, we make sure to walk around and explore the part of the city where the cafe is located.
