Year 12 IB Geography Takes Edible Field Trip
Our Year 12 Geography IB class had a field trip to Little Chinatown, Burwood, on Thursday, 9 June. We were looking for real world examples of cultural dispersion, integration and hybridity – all topics we study in the IB course. Our practical challenge was to have an adventure through the various Asian cuisines on a combined $35 budget, as per this 8-stop challenge:
At one of our stops we tried fried dough. We had high hopes that it would be cookie dough but rather it was bread dough. A little plain, but fine for an early stop.

Another of our stops was a dumpling stall where we found xiaolongbaos – our teacher’s mind was blown that soup can sit inside dumplings.
At one of our later stops we chose ingredients to go on a range of skewers. Capsicum and lamb were popular, but quail eggs were 99c for two, so – together with our teacher – one of us gave them a go. Both the teacher and student thought they were a little bit peculiar, but at least they weren’t expensive!
Overall, we had a great experience and we’ve lived cultural hybridity at its finest. We encourage everyone to go and visit Little Chinatown in Burwood as we had a great experience.
