Special Meals

Orientation is not only sitting in classes soaking up all kinds of information that will help us on the field but it is learning about cultures.  Yesterday we had a meal from eastern Europe.  It was borscht (spelling?) and rye bread.  In case you are not familiar with what that is, it was chopped up cabbage soup.  Now, I'm not one to eat cooked cabbage but that wasn't too bad.  At least we had a spoon to eat with.  Today was a middle east meal.  It was meatballs/tomatoes with some kind of flat bread and chopped up onions and other stuff.  It actually was good but we didn't have utensils and had to use our hand (right to be proper).  We will have one more of those special meals before we leave.  I sure hope it will be as good as these first two.
