Eat Bread!, Drink Tea!
Food in the village of Gomer has been quite an interesting experience. It consists mostly of bread, bread, bread, and noodles...and tea. "Go-rey so! Ja tung!" are the phrases I hear most, which translate to "eat bread! drink tea!"
The people here eat bread products of all sorts at amazing speeds, and they seem to be somewhat frustrated that I don't eat quite fast enough for their liking. I'm convinced the town has a competition going on over who can make their guest the fattest by the time they leave, and my family is set on winning. It doesn't help that the food tastes very good. There is fried bread and milk tea or steamed rolls for breakfast. More fresh warm bread and tea at our afternoon class, and noodle soup for dinner. "Jak ta! Jak ta!" I say again and again, trying to convince my family that "I'm full!" but they never seem to believe me.
I'm dreaming of steamed vegetables, coffee, and dark chocolate.
