I don’t think I will ever starve here in China. The food is very unfamiliar but delicious at the same time. In the campus cafeterias, I can get a meal so cheap for 10rmb which is less than 5 dollars. I put everything on my meal card that UCD supplied everyone. There’s also a western-styled restaurant in case I need my American food fix.
I did however get sick at the boy’s dorm cafeteria. That day I ate lunch with a friend that introduced me to a hip-hop dancer. I am still not sure what we ate, but it tore my stomach up in class. Thankfully that was the only sick experience I’ve had here so far.
I love food and it brings people together. However, I’m starting to dislike eating with the guys in my program. They just order a bunch of meat and nothing else most of the time. I’m more aggressive in ordering food now, but it was bad. I ate so much meat in one week that I stayed clear from meet for a few days and ate nothing but tofu and vegetables.
Going into my second week in China, I am slowily but surely getting use to eating Chinese food all day and everyday. There is so much variety that I just need to try all I can. Chinese food rarely disappoints me with satisfaction or fulfillment. Bottom-line, Chinese food rocks!
There pictures were taken on the last night of the Chinese New Year. So we all stuffed ourselves like never before!
