New foods New culture

Food,  Beverage and  Traditional cake 

              I love Indonesia food, because there are some dishes are similar to Thai food. and delicious. I and friend enjoy eating so much. I told my friend that if we eat a lot after this, our weight will increase. But  I think it is the only time to eat Indonesian food. So I try to eat everything. "Do not worry about weight" I am very happy to eat delicious food every day.In Indonesia, they rarely drink water with ice and like to drink tea, but one of my favorite drinks is fruit juice. Sometimes they will put fruit like papaya, pineapple, and ice.It is good. Traditional cakes at Gorontalo there are  many kinds and I try to eat it. Some desserts taste like Thai desserts.

Traditional car

             Traditional car in Gorontalo is Bento. It is a motorcycle, and there's a seat in front of the motorcycle. It can seat two or three people.
The price is cheap and easily to go another place. Bento is popular in Gorontalo. I go to school by Bento everyday. Sometimes if there are many people we will call Grab.
