I remember one time I was sleeping over at my friend Taiki's house. For dinner, we had sushi, a dish Im not sure what the name is, and popcorn shrimp (which was for me and friend Jake). It was strange eating with a new culture because there we many things that they did at the table that I've never done before. For example, they gave thanks before the meal, they ate with chopsticks at home, and they spoke in Japanese many times throughout the meal.

With all this going on, my friend Jake and I weren't used to any of it. I mean I've eaten with chopsticks before just not at the house. Also, the family was speaking a different language where as Jake and I only spoke English to each other. Lastly, the dish my friend Jake and I ate (which was delicious) we had never seen before.

At my home, we never really give thanks for the meal were about to eat, we all speak English even though my mom and dad can speak Arabic, and the meals we eat are Lebanese meals which I'm much more used to.
