That means 1 that there are many different people from many different countries, all over the world, so I really enjoy going out and eating different kinds of foods from different places. You can have Thai food, Indian food, Chinese food, French food, Italian food, Portuguese 2 food, all kinds of food, and I really, really enjoy that part of my city.
