Blog post #5: Cultural encounters

In one of my stage there was signs about the environment everywhere in the room, recycling boxes too. In the other stage, signs on the walls were talking about respect. With Auvril, it was pretty quiet because I had to translate while she was working on her computer about something important. She was preparing something before the Christmas break. On the walls and the table there was wood sculptures , they looked like coming from the south, I guess my host is not from Canada. I did not have the change to ask her where she is from or what she is doing for Christmas. I have not heard about any informal language in both of my stages. But in both I did some reading and writing ( I wrote about environment ). The most hard thing in my stage so far is the translation, even if it was for my part the most interesting thing to do. Otherwise I did not have problems.
