So today I'm planning on finishing and editing my essays for my year of service. It's awesome because I love getting the ability to share a bit of myself with others especially when it come to what I can bring to the table and contribute to a place. I love the idea of getting to volunteer for a year and give of myself. I think it is important that I show all that I can give to them and why I am a good fit.
Back to todays topic..try the food!
One thing you will hear all about is the food of a country and what you should and shouldn't try. It kills me when people say that they only eat chicken fingers, pizza, grilled cheese...nothing that is overwhelmingly different. I could never understand why someone would not at least try something different. My philosophy is that you must at least taste the different foods of a country. One of my favorite things to do is to take a menu of a restaurant and pick something random to eat. Of course, if you can't eat certain foods that changes things a little bit, but you should be able to find something to eat. It's sometimes surprising and unexpected when you find a new food that can become your favorite. You can also sometimes figure out different foods to make at home and ways to adapt them. Some of the best things to do is go to a local restaurant, of course, depending on the country you are in, you may want to check them out a little bit more. Also, even getting street food can be fun and especially unexpected. Sometimes depending on the country you are in, the food can be super cheap so you can try a ton of different types of food. When we were in India we tried so many different foods, same as in China because everything was so cheap.
Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. ~Voltaire
