School Lunch

BLOG

today we had chinese food for the school lunch. This was a huge deal. The whole cafeteria was decorated with Chinese flags and there was a huge dragon hanging in the middle of the room. Everyone was really excited that we were eating Chinese food. So we got our food: rice with eggs and ham and pees, spring rolls, lemon chicken and flan. The food was truly disgusting. The spring rolls were mushy and there weren't really any vegetables inside. Nobody really liked the food, but it didn't matter it was such a big deal. If Catlin got really into every time we had Asian food, well we would have a party pretty much everyday.

Not much has happened lately. Halloween is celebrated here, but its not as big a deal. Little kids do not go trick or treating, but they do get dressed up and eat candy. Older kids dress up, have a party and throw eggs at cars and houses, but they don't TP. I have pretty much completely become accustomed to the eating hours. (Light breakfast at 8, bocadillo at 12, lunch at 2, snack at 6, and dinner at 9.) And, the bread here is AMAZING! I was talking to a girl in my class and she said that Spanish bread is better than French bread, which makes it the best bread in the world.

Today, in English class I had a presentation on Halloween in America. And, so I talked for a little bit about our customs and such and then I handed out caramel apples. I wanted to make them for everyone in my class, but I ran out of caramel, so people had to share, but it turned out to be not a big deal. My classmates asked me how to make caramel apples and they joked that they were going to go home and make caramel apples.
