ホストファミリーをしている友達（ともだち）の家（いえ）に遊（あそ）びに行（い）ってきました。友達の家に来（き）ている、その留学生（りゅうがくせい）はなんとメルボルン出身（しゅっしん）！！私（わたし）もとらもメルボルン在住（ざいじゅう）経験（けいけん）があるので、メルボルンの話（はなし）で盛（も）り上（あ）がりました。なんて偶然（ぐうぜん）！実（じつ）は世界（せかい）って狭（せま）いですね！

Tora and I visited my friend who is hosting an exchange student. Surprisingly, the student is from Melbourne! What a coincidence! It really shows how small the world can be. Since both Tora and I have lived in Melbourne, we had a great time reminiscing about both Melbourne and Japan. Interestingly, this was our first visit to my friend's town, despite it being in the same prefecture as ours. The town was a quiet and lovely place. Most notably, it's famous for our favorite seafood, eel! My friend purchased some at a seafood market and grilled them over charcoal for us. It was the best eel we've ever had! We talked about our fantastic experience with the fresh eel and our memories of Melbourne, and we also discussed the nicknames of various seafoods.
