Simply Sarj 'My Recipe for Cultural Interchange' is a 433 page book for cultural exchange and adaptation. 6NORTH

In my book I explain that all cultures can learn from each other and my goal is to help people on each side of this cultural interaction because I have experienced the complexities and misunderstandings of cultural differences and sensitivities/insensitivities and I want to help bridge the gaps between cultures. I know that it is necessary for international students, parents, host families, migran

ts and refugees to prepare themselves well before they live in another culture because I remember what I had to experience when I moved from the East to live in the West many years ago. Let me share with you some of my experiences as a traveler and Homestay mother. Some of my stories are funny and some are sad, but they are all very relevant to the realities of this experience that we all call life. I have learnt that it is inevitable that people will change as a direct result of cultural interaction and exchange and that is why I have referred to this two-way experience as Cultural Interchange

I started with a dough and ended up with dumplings πŸ₯Ÿ Roti πŸ«“ and noodles 🍜 πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Pretty chuffed that I could eat three different meals from one easy dough mix 😍 This week has been busy preparing food to freeze so that when I return after my surgery I have healthy balanced diet to get on top of my health πŸ‘ I couldn’t put my poor husband who is a non cook to do my cooking lol πŸ˜‚ So, I’m glad I have had the time after the recent busy schedule in Sydney to be able to look after myself πŸ˜‡πŸ™β€οΈ ❀️ πŸ₯Ÿ 🍜 Song, tribute to Dolly Parton a legend! πŸ™
