Canadian cooking!

Hello!! So today was an amazing day!!
(Since the last time ive written, ive been great! haha just living a GREAT and AMAZING life in Taiwan)!!!
Since the new semester started, we have a cooking class and its really really fun!!!
So last week we made some Chinese food, but this week it was time to make Canadian food!! So i really didnt know what i could make becuase really there is NO ingredients that we use in Canada easy to find in Taiwan. WEll i went to Sogo sohpping mall (the only place in TAIWAN with ingredients of like other countries.. im serious i saw SOOO many foreigners there hahaha).
So while i was shopping i had to find what to make. (and thinking of the price also because imported stuff, it was all imported.. is really expensive haha) .. so i said hmm well i have real Canadian maple syrup so lets find pancakes..and guess what i not only found pancake mix..BUT FROM CANADA with the emballage in FRENCH and ENglish!! its been soooo long since i saw taht hahah i was like omg, its not crazy chinese characters.. omg!!hahaha then i was like hmm. what elese.. then i said what do i eat all the time in Canada? then i though Grilled CHeese!!! The cheese is SOO expensive here.. becuase theres NO cows anywhere .. so like its so crazy how much the cheese is here. But i still had enough to by to make grilled cheese hahaha Then i said hmmm i know its not canadian (i wanted to make poutine.. but too hard haha) so i was like spaghetti! hahaha

So today Me, Arely and Susy (with one of our teachers) cooked Pancakes with Maple Syrup, Grilled Cheese and Spaghetti!! haahah It was really really good! this is like the first time since 7 months that i eat something like that. THe food in Taiwan is SOOO different, like down to the bread (the bread is always sweet or something, i havent ate like bread not falvoured since the day i left Canada ahaha)
In a way its awsome that the food is so different becuase i get to experience a new culture and also i get to appreciate everything once i get back home! haha (i dont want to get back home haahaha)

So next week i am going to the Southest point in Taiwan!! its called Kenting and all the rotary students are going there for our trip!!! Its gonna be so awesome because kenting has beautiful beaches and we can swim in the ocean and its going to be great!! Im really looking forward to it!

Bye bye
Brianne
