Today is finally the last day to spend with my host family in Australia.
I woke up early and spent my last morning in Brisbane because I was going to see my host sister's dance lesson in the morning. My host father and host sister were wearing matching outfits, so we took pictures and had a good time.
My host mother drove me to my host sister's lessons. I felt very sad thinking that I had only a few more days left to ride in the car driven by my host mother. At the host sisters' lessons, I saw them cheerleading to various Western music. After watching the host sisters' lessons, we walked to a nearby shopping mall. My host mother took me to a famous Australian store that sells a variety of goods at low prices. I was surprised to see jeans for $2 and a dress for $1, which were incredibly cheap. After that, I had my first taste of Gorgonzola at the supermarket. Gorgonzola had a stronger smell than I had expected, and the smell remained in my mouth for some time after eating it. After returning home, we finished packing and went to the Host Grandparents' house next door to watch TV, play make-believe, and relax.
After lunch, my host mother took me to Mt. GRAVAT, a mountain overlooking the city of Brisbane. From the top, the view of Brisbane was really beautiful and impressive. After playing on the playground at the top with my host sisters, I went home. After returning home, we spent our last time with our host families. I gave my host family a kusudama made of colored paper and origami as a token of my appreciation for their hospitality.
Although the two weeks were very short, I spent a lot of time at home because of the cyclone, but I was able to learn many things, play a lot, and spend very fulfilling days. At the end of the trip, I was told that "see you" is a word used when you don't want to see someone again, so it is better to use "see you later" which means "see you again later. I definitely want to come back to Brisbane again!
