****Food Glorious Food****

Hello everybody!! Sorry that I havn't blogged in a while. But I'll just catch you up on all of the things that I did this week. Last Saturday, my family and I went to a dinner event at Glenridge Middle School (sponsored by TCHS and WPHS). It was a demonstration of world hunger. The world was divided into five regions (Africa, Latin America, East Asia, South Asia and Euro/America). When you picked your number, it made you think "there's a chance that I could have easily been born in Latin America or Africa." After the introduction, it was dinner time (Africa=Rice and Pork, Latin America=Beans and Rice, East and South Asia= Cold Rice and Veggies). Oh, I almost forgot about Euro/America. Full-course meal and they were served (in Asia, we had to wait for the men to get their food and water before the women could get anything and we had to sit in silence. Plus the food was in half-serving boxes and we had only half glass of water for the whole meal >-<. It was a good experience and I know I'll never say I'm dying of hunger again!!
