Some questions
When I was 15 years old, I went to Australia for 3 weeks. I went to a girls' school every day in Melbourne and had good time there. I had a class of swimming, cooking, and conversation. It was brilliant experience for me.
During my home stay, my host mother picked me up to the school every day. At first, I thought it a little bit strange because Japanese parents don't pick their children up. Japanese students go to their schools by bus, train, or on foot. I didn't know why Australian parents did that at all.
And I had another question about their lives. In Japan, my mother makes lunch for me and its contents are always different. If I have an Onigiri for today's lunch, I may have sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. But my host mother made sandwiches for me and its contents were always same, some slices of cheese and ham. Of course I still thank my host mother.
Thank you for reading!
I hope your corrections and comments.:-D

Exactly my host home was a little bit far from the school and I had not seen the school bus or something like that. My host mother picked my host sister and me up and it took about 5 minutes to the school, maybe. Honestly I wanted to go to school on foot because Melbourne was so beautiful!
OK, but you never lose interest in contents of your lunch? You don't sick of it?
By the way, I want to visit Australia again. I want to see Santa Claus surfs!!

Not all parents pick their children up. A lot stop when their children reach high school but it depends on a lot of variables. How far your home is from the school, what kind of neighbourhood it is (crime, violence, etc), whether or not your parents work, whether or not your parents want to, the quality of public transport in the area. For me, I used to walk home in primary school (because home was close). In high school I sometimes walked and sometimes got picked up. In senior high school I caught the bus. Everyone does it differently. As for the lunches, I think it's just a common thing because it's less expensive to just have the same thing most days. There's not real need to change it too much. Food is food. As for them being sandwiches; I think that's just a Western cultural thing. Don't look into it too much. Australia just has a very different culture to the rest of Asia.
