international families

there are a total of 54 candidates in the course that hubby is currently attending... 50 japanese... and 4 international ones... of which... 1 korean... 1 indian... 1 american... and of course... hubby from singapore...

strange that the previous candidates from singapore have come alone... cos this year... all the international candidates have come in families...

we met the korean on the day when we first moved in... his wife... and 2 daughters... aged 5 and 3 years... will be joining him this saturday... so far... tonight will be the 2nd time that we are inviting him over for dinner with us...

the indian family... we met last night... wife and son... son is the same age as rachelle... attending the school nearby... we are hoping that our gals will be able to get places in the same school too... wife has a rather outgoing personality and she speaks english..! =) was amazed at her kitchen... and soon found out that she has flown over 200kg worth of stuff for the stay... no wonder she has matching cups and bowls... even her very own special pot...

the only family not staying here... is the american... heard that he is here with his wife and 2 sons... 1.5 years old and 3 month-old... have not met this family yet...

it's really a fun time getting to know one another... guess the most difficult one to have a conversation with will be the koreans... the man speaks fluent japanese and korean... with little english... the wife speaks only korean... that will be a challenge...

looking forward to the international experience here... tasting authentic indian and korean food from their kitchens... in fact... when the gals and i left for our shopping trip yesterday... we could smell the aroma of curry along the corridor... it was nice...

it's gonna be a fun and enriching stay here... i'm sure... =)
