My BFTF

After sitting and working for several hours every Diplomat tends (unconciously:) ) to think about breaks. The noblest excuse for a break is to have something ot eat. Cafeteria is really the thing that unites us!

Actually it was difficult to get used to American food. And it is still difficult to eat it! Almost all the overseas Diplomats are suffering from food. And when somebody asks a Diplomat “What is the thing you are missing most of all?” don’t believe if the Diplomat says “Family, friends”. The right answer is food.

When we arrived in Washington a great question arose :”What company will be honoured to feed the BFTF Diplomats?” In the capital of America it was decided to start with traditional American food - fast food.

But noone was going to eat only American fast food. We Tracy our guide and she found a lovely place to try some Mexican food. Overseas stomachs immediately felt that one Mexican dish includes more spicies than we eat during the whole week at home. But it was a great beginning. Belarus and Turkmenistan are sharing great Mexican food heritage:

Soon after that we visited another place where everyone had an opportunity to eat as much as he could. If I ‘m not mistaken most of us ate Chinese food that was also quite new to our stomachs (actually our stomachs themselves have had more adventures than we). Look at the pictures and compare them. Maybe that will explain the title:)

1. The staff, our best mentors ever - civilized society
2. We, Diplomats, who need to study, study, and study (actually there’s also a member of the staff on the picture with us but I’m not going to tell who (s)he is )

Just a glance at these happy faces is enough to understand what food means for them. Who do you think is the hungriest? And who has eaten more than others?

• Here’s Arben. He certainly likes his food
• Here’s Plamena. Usually her eyes are not so big.
• Here’s me (Alena). do you know what I’m doing? I have no idea
• That’s a spy from the staff and our good friend As I have promised not to tell his name I won’t do it now. If you have any ideas who he is  send me an email ( alena.kudzko@gmail.com)
