This weekend, Elena, Teresa, Jonas, and I went to Phantasia Land! It's an amusement park with several diverse cultural themes. There's a section of Europe, the USA (mainly featuring the "wild west" in Colorado), Mexico, China, Africa, Australia, and South America. Each area has special attractions and particular food and bevereges, featuring the region. My favorite ride was the Black Mamba rollercoaster in Africa--like in Kill Bill.
Later that evening we went home to celebrate my host parents' anniversary (August 8th). The six kids, including me, bought them a giant American flag and wrote a bunch of English phrases they tried speaking to me. They loved this and it was funny.
