Hi everyone! I'm on day five of my conjunctivitis stint, just waiting for it to pass now. The volunteer house had an outbreak about 12 days ago and I'm the last of about 11 or 12 people that got it. It's been mostly low energy and putting drops in my gunk filled eyes a few times a day and trying not to scratch my eyes out. I think I'll be better in a day or two. Also, I thought about a real shower for the first time today.
I had a food homesickness for the first time today, thinking of all the foods that I miss back home. Taco truck, pizza, ice cream, pastries, anything not rice or curry... ha! The food has been great here, but limited to a few specific things due to it's remoteness. There is a fantastic dish that has saved me from protein deficiency a few times. It is called Martabak, and it's basically a "crispy skin omelet with cucumber, shallots, garlic and mince meat. If you'll excuse me for a bit, I'm going to go grab two.
Selemat Jalan! Sampai jumpa lagi!

Taco truck misses you too! Not Hollywood Video though... it went out of business.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.
I always miss pizza and rainy days when I'm gone for a long time. It's hard to imagine missing the rain in November in Seattle, but it's totally true. On about week six, I'm thinking, 'Hey...why is that big orb in the sky here every day!?!?".
ReplyDeleteHope Thanksgiving helped ease the food homesickness!
