Making Mochi and Exploring Japanese Canadian Culture on the Culture Travels Podcast

April 27, 2022 By Erica Hargreave Leave a Comment

In this episode of the Culture Travels Podcast (that recorded live in studio on the Fireside Chat App on February 5, 2022), I was joined by middle schooler Maya and her mom Manami, as they taught me how to make mochi and we chatted about Japanese Canadian culture. As is the case when you are hanging out in the kitchen and baking and chatting with friends, this is one of … [Read more...]

A Taste of Guatemala

March 11, 2019 By Alex Charters 12 Comments

Everybody knows that grandmothers like to feed you. They say, "you're too skinny," and stuff you 'till you literally can't stomach any more. Due to the fact that my abuelita (grandma) lives in Guatemala, she has been robbed of this grandmotherly right. So you can imagine her delight, and my impending weight gain, when I showed up at her doorstep in San Pedro Pinula to visit for … [Read more...]

I love you with love from Canada

One of the things I love about living in Richmond, BC on Canada's West Coast is that I have neighbours that speak many different languages from around the world, giving me the opportunity to learn and regularly hear many different languages.  Now while my adoption of different languages is quite rudimentary, one of my favourite neighbours, Glenda, has quite a phenomenal grasp … [Read more...]

Thai in Translation

March 28, 2017 By Alex Charters 9 Comments

Learning the basic words and greetings of another language is one of the best parts about visiting a foreign country and a great way to show interest and respect (even though you may be butchering the language) for the local culture. Native people, in my experience, appreciate and welcome this effort. Even though many Thai people know enough English to get by or have other … [Read more...]

Learning Portuguese in Sunny Mozambique

November 4, 2012 By Alyzee Lakhani 4 Comments

My favourite part about going to a different country is delighting in the unfamiliar sounds of a new language -- and then trying them on my own tongue. Mozambique has many different dialects, but being a recently decolonized country, Portuguese is the most commonly spoken language in the capital of Maputo where I spent the greater part of my visit.
