Hi to everyone!
Last Friday, our boss invited us for a dinner to celebrate her new apartment. I was so excited because FOOD is my second name. I waited eagerly, then Sunday came..We went to a nice restaurant and started ordering. I don’t know what to order so, I let them order for me. While waiting for the food, I was talking to my Polish friends (co-workers) and I told them that we should observe what they do (because we might violate some traditions) and just follow what they do. The chopsticks were not friendly to me that night so I requested for a fork and knife, after a few minutes I used my friendly fingers, It was finger-likin’ good!.
What caught my attention that night was, on how they toss glasses, it’s quite different from western countries but the purpose is the same…to celebrate!. The first dish served was like a ham, I was a little frustrated because it was only a ham!, but more and more food were coming , my eyes got bigger and bigger and my stomach got fuller and fuller. I counted all the dishes that i ate and it was all 18 dishes, really amazing huh!? Can you imagine how full I was? I told my boss Xie Xie, in English Thank you!. I was thankful ’cause I was very full and enjoyed the night and created a bond with new workmates. The night turned out nice and smooth.
