Host Family

Last Saturday evening we took part in an interesting host family activity. I really experience the enthusiasm of the locals in Singapore.
It was nearly 5:30 when we arrived at our destination for the driver cannot find the correct way there. On entering the activity room, we saw many families including many local couples were waiting for us there. They were quite enthusiastic on seeing us. Then we began our activities with many small games, such as finding friends and “stone water bird”. Everyone enjoyed their time as all of them found many new friends that time.
It was time for dinner. We students were divided into different groups and had dinner with their own host family. We talked with each other happily, changing our opinions about our own unique culture. I knew that our host families were two big ones. They were close friends. One brought their little girl that day, another only with the hostess as their family members worked in different places overseas. We both introduced ourselves and our hometown. One of the family members was very familiar with Chinese culture because her father was also from China. We also communicated with our current university life. Finally, they invited us to visit their houses next time. We each other changed our hand phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
It was nearly the end of that day’s activity. We together sang some songs, including the nostalgic song: FRIEND. I remembered the past time with my own family members. We said goodbye to each other and went back home.
It was really a memorable day that day. I had a sense of a real family and enjoyed my time.
