Mandy
Chris
Konnichiwa, Chris!
Amerikamura
How are things in Hong Kong? Is the weather still cool and
overcast? Since arriving in Osaka, the weather has been clear and
fair, with loads of sunshine ideal for going sightseeing, visiting
theme parks and going on city tours.
10 I'm having a wonderful time in Osaka! Right now, I'm sitting in a
small cafe in Sankaku Koen ("Triangle Park") in Amerikamura
("American Village"). Are you looking at the photo attached to
this email? Uncle Sam a famous cartoon character
representing the US Government is pointing at you from a
15 poster on a wall. In the old days, his pointing meant, "I want you
to join the army!" But now, in Amerikamura, it means, "I want
you to be keen on American culture!"
Uncle Sam's pointing is working because Amerikamura is overflowing with American culture - from
McDonald's to clothing shops selling grunge and hip-hop fashions to cinemas showing the latest
20 Hollywood blockbusters. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry play loudly in the shops a crazy mixture of
American pop. The American flag is hanging everywhere, and there's even a big model of the Statue of
Liberty rising above Triangle Park.
American culture is very trendy among youths in Osaka - the same way Japanese culture is very
fashionable among young people in Hong Kong. This morning, I met a Japanese girl in a shop selling
25 "Jinglish" T-shirts shirts with a blend of Japanese and English sayings on them. She told me that
Amerikamura is where kids go to find the American Dream.
As I'm writing this email, I'm also eating a huge American-style hamburger with a side of French fries
except the hamburger is made from octopus! As you know, trying local cuisine isn't usually my favourite
thing to do, but my guidebook makes octopus burgers sound delicious ...
made from beef,
30 Anyway, my battery is getting low, so I should sign off. Let's go out for hamburgers
not octopus - when I get back. I can't wait to tell you more about Amerikamura and Osaka, and show
you all the cool photos I've taken with my new digital camera.

II) Your cousin Bobby is back in Australia. He has sent you an email. Read the email and answer the
questions that follow.
Our first tourist adventure was going "glamping" in Tin Shui Wai, which was an incredible experience from
start to finish. We have gone camping in Australia before, of course, but I've never encountered this kind of
luxury in nature! Next, we made our way to the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark and spent time exploring
and clambering over those amazing rock formations. The Hong Kong Science Museum was my personal
favorite though. I think that I must absorb information better when I'm having fun, because I can recall just
about everything I learned about science and technology there. Maybe I have a future as a scientist, but only
10 if I work in a really entertaining laboratory!
Thank you so much for your suggestions, some of which we had time for this time, and some of which we'll
have to save for our next journey across the ocean!
Hong Kong has such an impressive public transport system. The Octopus card makes short jaunts around the
city very convenient. It was easy to hop between different types of transport, such as the MTR, buses, ferries,
trams and minibuses. In Melbourne, we also have those kinds of public transport, as well as our own
"smartcard" called the Myki. In addition, we have a bike share programme. If you join the programme, you
15 can access over 600 bikes in the city for up to 30 minutes each time. That's usually enough to get where you
need to go, and sometimes it's faster than being in a car because you can breeze through the traffic jams.
Perhaps that idea would work in Hong Kong as well.
I'm looking forward to the day that you can visit me in my home country. I'll show you around all the best
sightseeing spots! I have to pay you back for the Hong Kong suggestions.
