Akane: Well, it was really interesting actually. They picked me up first thing in the morning and drove me to an outdoor market where they sold all kinds offruits and vegetables and meats and spices and it was a kind of market where only the local people would go and they introduced me to a lot of different kinds of herbs and spices and fruits and vegetables that I’ve never even seen before so that was really interesting, and then they took me to the kitchen which was actually an outdoor kitchen right by a beach so I got to do cooking right in front of a beach it was very beautiful.
茜：实际上非常有意思。他们早上会先来接我，然后开车送我去卖各种水果、蔬菜、肉类和辣椒的露天市场，那是只有当地人会去的那种市场，他们给我介绍了许多种我以前从来没见过的草药、辣椒、水果和蔬菜，真的很有趣，之后他们带我去了一个厨房，那是一个在海滩边上的露天厨房，我要在海滩前面烹饪，那场景真的很美。
Ruth: Wow.
鲁斯：哇。
