Actually its not cool dude cos my host is a girl ... :D
First and foremost, I would like to mention that if I am not wrong, me and Zheng Jia are the only two people who have paired up together to no actual host as we are staying with the Vice-Principal of University High and she has no Year 9 son or daughter but another son who is overseas.
However she does have a Year 11 daughter who has taken us out once and brought us home by tram once too. To me, I would consider both Mrs Thompson, the Vice-Principal, and Megan, her daughter, to be our hosts.
A common trait that can be easily found between these two hosts is that they are very gracious people. They are extremely generous, especially to their guests, and they are nonetheless friendly too. Just one of the oh so many traits I seriously admire about them :D
Mrs Thompson is very kind and sweet lady who always offers a helping hand in things that we need to dod and never pushes or hurries us to do things. She fetches us to the Uni High daily and once even printed out a map of the route to take home on the train when we went to the museum as she couldnt fetch us home. That really demonstrated how she really cared and took care of us :D
Megan is just like her mother too! During the first Saturday, she took me and Zheng Jia out by herself and showed us around the city and to Eureka tower. Though she almost forgot to fetch us home on Tuesday afternoon, she came back in a hurry and apologised hastily. She is very kind in always offering any form of assistance during our stay too(:
I think that there's alot for us to learn from these Australians. For example, as Singaporeans, we could learn to be gracious to our friends and family instead of being so stingy all the time. This will help us to build a better and more condusive environment :D
