Culture Day 🇩🇪🇨🇦

On Friday, November 20th it was Culture day at my school (ycmhs). All the internationals had to make a presentation cardboard about their country and some typical/traditional food.
For example, Italy made spaghetti carbonara and Italien coffee, Mexico made Tacos, Belgium made Waffles and two other germans and I made german lebkuchen/gingerbread.
We also had to write down two questions (and answers) about our country. These questions were than printed on a worksheet that the classes that came to the culture day had to fill out.
All in all about fifteen different countries were represented. These are some of them:

Our board about Germany

Columbia

Belgium

Italy

Mexico

Sweden

Turkey

Thanksgiving

On the long thanksgiving weekend we went camping with some friends of my host parents and their kids.
These weekend at the camp mostly consist of sitting around a bonfire till late at night, barbecue, playing bottle tag in the woods with all the kids or card games in our trailers, going swimming, playing washers (and losing every time) or just watching movies with the kids squeezed in one trailer.

The Lake at our camp where we go swimming, kanuing, stand up paddling, jump on that water trampoline and let people fly through the air with that blob attached to it.

Ice hockey & Ice skating

On Firday, October 15th I went with some other international students to a Hockey game at the Mariners Centre in Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Jr A mariners played against Turo, they lost the game by the way.

On sundays you can skate one hour at the mariners Centre for free so a lot of internationals go there every week.

The beach

You see this a lot in Yarmouth. I don’t know why but apparently people here like birdhouses a lot.
