How Do You Like?

On raining day, what would happen if you are waiting to somebody on the street. Most people do not want to wet their body. How will you avoid a lot of raining? I am an international student. In December 2008, I arrived in America for studying English. At that time, I did not have a car, so my cousin usually took me to go to school and home. One day that day had a lot of rain but my cousin who had really important meeting, so I had to wait for while on the street. After that happen, I could get a new hobby.


Nowadays, I often go to coffee shop. When I stayed in Korea, I though coffee shop was just drink some beverage after eating. I realized my thought was wrong. Most people who live in Northwest have relaxed because here has a lot of rain, so people need to avoid rain. When I was waiting my cousin, I just stood on the smoking area which could avoid rain. My cousin saw me that and he told me, “You can go any coffee shop like Starbucks or other place.” After that, I tried to go Starbucks and I used that place.


However, I had simple problems that I could not speak well. When I went to Starbucks, I could not order completely because there had a lot of menu. I never had been Starbucks in Korea, so I did not know how I should order. Fortunately, I went to there with my friend who could speak English and like coffee. I could order through my friend. First time I tried to drink just regular Americano, but that was really bitter.


After that, I never had drunk Americano, but I usually drink another one that is caramel macchiato. I think most of people like caramel macchiato that is little bit sweet and soft. Before drink coffee, I did not know about coffee, but now I knew and I learn about coffee. Last summer, my friend was drinking a cup of coffee that was Frappuccino. I was curious and I tried little bit. That was really cool and almost same with caramel macchiato because that one was caramel Frappuccino. I could have another favorite coffee through friend, so now I have two kinds of my favorite coffee.


I did not know coffee and I could not order some coffee. However, I learned America culture and coffee. In addition, If I have to wait my cousin or my friend on raining day, I can avoid rain and get relaxed time. Getting new things can change mind and can improve my ability. Besides, I hope to learn another interesting thing.
