Sunny.

I am off Tuesday， I went to post office with Kenji， to send a present from Indy to his girlfriend in Hungary. My neighborhood is a kind of Latino-Hispanic community， in the post office， most of the people both workers and customers are that kind of people. We are talking like “how many people here can speak English!”

But not only here， but also all over NY， we find so many Hispanic people， which was my first culture shock here. In restaurants or stores， it is rather difficult to find the clerks who is native-English speaker. Sometimes I get confused when we cannot communicate， like “Which English is problem? His or mine??”

Made Korean food， bibimbap (ビビンバ)， rice mixed with seasoned vegetables. The sesame oil is the secret. That was much easier to make than I had expected. But I have to watch my step， I have had a terrible stomachache because of too much Korean food.

Ate curry as well. Come on， my stomach!
