Lunch

Yesterday, I went to a restaurant to eat lunch. Before I sat down in my chair, a couple of chicks scurried out from under that table. The waitress continued to chase the chicks around the restaurant as we ate our lunch.

Extra Strawberry Smoothie

I watched a lady and her son at a restaurant today. They had a half full pitcher of strawberry smoothie, and they wanted to take the rest home with them. So one of the waitress comes out with a plastic bag, and they pour the remaining smoothie mixture into the bag and off they go.

Cheese

I bought a block of cheese last week. It weighs 5 kilos, that is about 11 pounds. It is a huge block. I should have cheese for quite a while.

 

 

Strawberry Popcorn

We went to make popcorn the other week. It was microwave popcorn, but we have no microwave, so we opened the bag to cook it on the stove. The popcorn had a strange smell. It didn’t smell right. I started looking at the package then noticed that it was Strawberry flavored popcorn. It was different, but not bad. I don’t think I would buy it again though.

 

Trash Day

I have learned to hate trash day here. I take my trash to the dumpster and inevitable there are some people sitting by the dumpster. They look through the crash for any recyclable objects. At least that’s what I think they are looking for. Regardless, it makes me feel self conscious to see them looking through my trash.

 

 

May 1 Holiday

I mentioned the big holiday earlier, but I want to explain a little more. The holiday was May 1 for the International Labor Day. We had one week off school. 3 days for the holiday, 2 days for the normal weekend, 2 days for the weekend before the holiday. Why did you get 2 days for the weekend before the holiday, you might ask, because the normal students (we convinced our teachers that we wouldn’t come) had class on the weekend before the holiday.

 

 

Not Writing

I haven’t been writing not because I haven’t had anything to write about it. I often see something and think “I need to write about that.” But until I sit down at the computer to write, I forget what is was that I wanted to write about. I hope to do better in the future.
