【7/26】オーストラリアで過ごす初めての週末！
本日は学校がお休みなので、生徒たちはそれぞれのホストファミリーと週末を過ごしています。全員問題なく楽しく過ごせているようです。
私も、近くのSurfers Paradise に行って、軽いランニングをしてから買い物をしてきました。
こんなに雄大なオーシャンビューを見たのは初めてで、とても気分が高まりました！
さて、本日も３人の生徒の週末の感想を共有する形としようと思います！
We had the day off today, so we went to see a movie. We watched "How to Train Your Dragon". I had seen the anime version before, but we saw the live-action version today, and it was very realistic and moving! I was very surprised in the cinema because in Australia, we can bring our own snacks that we bought ourselves from somewhere else, not in the cinema! At that time, I really felt the cultural difference between Japan and Australia. We also went to Baskin-Robbins. I was also surprised there because the menu they had was totally different from the one in Japan. The same flavor was just Love Potion and Cotton Candy. They didn't even have a Popping Shower! And, they didn't have my favorite orange sorbet too. The most surprising thing today was finding Switch 2 while we were out shopping!! Of course, I couldn't buy it. That made me sooo sad. Today was an exciting and fun day! There is less than one week left before we go back to Japan, so I want to enjoy the rest of my time!

It was a really nice day. First, we met up with other Hiroo Gakuen students and went shopping. We went to the Pacific Fair Shopping Center. Next, we took the tram to an observation deck called Q1. We could see all the way to the sea, and it was beautiful. I really felt the power of Australia's nature. After that, we had fun at the beach and did some shopping along the coast. We were so excited that we were laughing all the time. I'm so happy that I've been able to joke with the host family. Everything I experienced today was new and a lot of fun.

Today, I watched a rugby match with my friend and host family. It was my first time watching a real rugby game, and it was so exciting. In the game, the boy in my host family played as a wing. Although the other team was very strong and his team had been losing, he finally scored a try, and they won the game. I was really impressed by his performance. He looked so excited. When I told him that he was amazing, he smiled and said, “Thank you.” This experience brought us closer to our host family, and I felt happy to share such a special moment with them.

明日はオーストラリアで過ごす最初で最後の日曜日です。よい週末が過ごせることを願うばかりです！みなさん、明日も楽しんでくださいね！
P.S. 私はスターバックスの雰囲気が好きで日本でもよくいくのですが、Surfers Paradiseにもあったので行ってきました。
こちらでは、注文したものを渡すときは注文番号ではなくその人の名前で呼ぶようです。ホットラテを注文した後に"What's your name?"と聞かれたので、ゆっくり"KYOSUKE"と伝えました。
待てども待てどもなかなか名前が呼ばれないな～と思いカウンターに行ったところ、誰にも触れられず放置されているラテを見つけました。
