Through this project, I have learned a lot of things. First, I had the chance to see a lot of pictures of myself, as well as my family and extended family. I was really surprised how I have changed from when I was a child until now. A lot of those pictures brought a lot of good memories, and some of them were really funny to look at. Now, I understand why it's very important for my parents to take a lot of pictures of me, and my family. I guess now, I will enjoy taking pictures more than in the past. I have also learned how to cook ( but I am not an expert). I haven't cooked before - ever! I haven't made instant noodles, or rice, or anything!. That's because I don't want to, and because my mom won't let me. But this project gave me a motivation, as well as a reason for my mom to let me cook. I decided to cook my favorite dessert, which is apple strudel. It was really hard to cook it, and finding the ingredients as well as good recipes on the internet was also hard. But, eventually I found an easy-to-understand recipe and my mom was able to find all the ingredients. Because of this project, I think I am going to start cooking this dessert every two weeks, because I just love apple strudel that much!
Not only I have learned things about myself through this project, but I have also learned some interesting facts about other people's cultures, as well as people's personalities. One thing that was interesting was Lisa's family's conversion from Buddhism to Christianity. I found it very interesting and very ironic because those two religions are nearly the opposite, so how's that possible for a family to gain faith to something completely different - I guess I will never know the answer. The next thing that was interesting was Sarah's Korean culture. I had never known that people had to bow to a certain degree depending on their age. I find it really amazing, because in American and Czech Republic don't do that at all. I especially find it amazing because I just cannot imagine old people bowing at 135 degrees when their back is already bad. I really wonder how they do that. I have gained a lot of learning experience through this project, and I am positive that this knowledge is not just going to be helpful in my future assignments, but also in my life.

thanks to you I know transitional food of Czech (Stroodle)and you've learned alot
Cool David, I thought that you were an expert in cooking, apple strudel. Because I have enjoy it in social studies class. But I surprised that you called your self not a expert.
Anyways, I like your apple strudel, cool Czech's traditional desert foods.
By the way, I agreed with you, it's pretty hard for old people to bow a people who are older than them with 135 degrees. Their backs must be hurt.
You've learned lots of things didn't you, i gotta agree that you've grown a lot, your favorite desert was awesome, great job.
So did you learn anything about your parent, how did they get marry and stuff.
