I really do have a nice host family. Honestly a lot of things I want to rave about were supposed to be in different posts covering sleep, bath, food, tv, etc. Screw it. You'll get a mix and love every second of it.
Most importantly I eat like a GOD here. Everything I eat is delicious and unlike anything I've ever had, I can't describe it, I try not to eat too much in the day because I know there will be something yummy waiting for me at home. It might look strange and I will probably eat it wrong, but hell it'll be good. I know my Mom will know what I'm getting at, but does anyone else remember in the movie verision of To Kill a Mockingbird when they invite the poorer farmer kid over for dinner? Then he asks for syrup and puts it all over his potatos while everyone at the table looks on in horror until Scout finally jumps up and calls him on it. Yeah, I've had that moment several times over here at dinner and it's been hilarious. I think they give me weird things that are hard to eat just to see what I'll do and I'm glad I don't dissappoint. The first time I did it was with white rice. We have white rice at everymeal and it's getting to the point where I need it at everymeal, I've just gotten that used to it being there. Well, in the States we put soy sauce on white rice, it makes sense, plain rice is dumb and soy sauce is already there... so I go ahead and try to do this here. Yeah. Big no no. Not to the point where I get banished from the table, but everyone did laugh at me and was seriously confused that we did that at home.
Here what you do is put kelp or seaweed on it, which is cool. It's like the didn't have the spices we used so someone went out in a boat reached over the side pulled something up and said, "Yeah you dry this sucker out, this'll be delcious." Every bit of seaweed takes different, good though I can't explain or compare it to anything we eat at home.
I'm running on a a tight schedule today and with the three day weekend I probably won't post until Tuesday. So hang tight and I'll be back!
