Kafka
Imaginary travelling I invented a game for my children: we choose a country on a map of the world and prepare an imaginary jorney to it. First of all my wife and I consider which dish from a national cuisine of the country we can cook using goods from the nearest food shop. Then I start serfing the Web to find pictures of the sights, music and interesting facts connected with the country. And the final touch is a small vocabulary: three sheets of paper, which I attach to a wall, with three words - "hello", "thank you" and "good by" on the language of the country of our "journey". In the evening (Friday as usual) we draw around the table, switch on a laptop to listen to the national music, to watch pictures of the sights and eat a special national dish. We have already "visited" Norway, Canada and Italy in such way. Of course there are a lot of stereotypes in my web-researches, dishes we cook are not authentic, but it makes our family dinners more interesting and nevertheless educative. P.S.: The next country to "visit" is Iran. Any tips are welcome. :))

First of all, my wife and I consider which dish from a the national cuisine of the country we can cook using goods ingredients from the nearest food shop. Then I start surfing the Web to find pictures of the sights, music and interesting facts of connected with the country. And The final touch is a little small vocabulary: three sheets of paper, which I attach to a wall, with three words - "hello", "thank you" and "good bye" in the language of the country of our "journey".

This sounds like great fun. Why not try my country next. You can have a barbecue while your weather is still good.
