Dear Professor. Susan Garreis,

>I am not sure what you mean.
→I'm sorry.
→I want to say, " Does the United States have any other types of cuisine?"



>I like plain food. I love beef in stews, hamburgers, meatloaf and soups.
→Do you like plain food too!


>There are many types of cuisine in the US. Cajun cooking in New Orleans Louisana is hot, spicy and seafood based. They often cook alligator, since those animals are plentiful there. California has its own style of cooking, very much influenced by Asia, including Japan. The midwest (center of the country) has lots of delicious beef and pork. That is where most of those animals are grown. New England (the northeast corner of the US) has its >special version of seafood dishes, especially lobster. The southeast corner of the US has the most delicious desserts and fried chicken. Food ships all over the US. All of us in the US eat all types of American cuisine.
→Thank you I want to tell me more!
→I was very interested in Cajun cooking in New Orleans Louisana, New England in (the northeast corner of the US) has its special version of seafood,.

>I love Japanese noodles and miso soup. I rarely eat them here. I prefer to eat them in Japan!
>I love many different British foods. Often they are cooked in a plain manner.
>I love French croissants. We can get croissants here, but none are as tasty as the ones in Paris.
>In Delaware, I went to a Morroccan restaurant. I love the lamb dishes, especially. Eating with my fingers was a novelty.



>We think about the future.
>What technology do you want in your future?
→I think I want a good car that runs automatically.

>I agree!


→I think it will prevent accidents and congestion if cars run automatically.

>I agree. Some research is done in California that shows accidents and congestion is less if the cars and roads are coordinated automatically.
>Here is a link to an article: http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/09/robot-cars-now-officially-legal-in-california/. It is hard reading. Perhaps you can use a translator if you are interested. In the US Bing translator comes with Windows 7.


→The others, I think that if there is an interesting display of goggles.

>Yes. Even cardboard 3-D glasses make the movies better.

>Kazu, have you ever played a game with a virtual reality headset?




Sincerely yours,

Kazu
