A Map

It's late (almost 1am)... I've been out at a party with many of my fellow MA students, hosted by one of the PhD students from my university- a chance for us to get to know each other better.

Everyone brought food to represent their country. I brought a raspberry dessert that my mom makes sometimes (I could eat this every day and not tire of it- though, after about a week, I'm sure my clothes would begin to shrink...). It wasn't as good as she makes it, but it was pretty darn good. :-) I almost didn't have enough raspberries for it, as I started to nibble on them... mmmm. I love raspberries. :-)

I tried food from Ethiopia, Syria, England, and Britain (and I wanted to try the food from Palestine and Nepal, but I was too full!). I've got to brag a bit- I actually ate spicy food! Green curry from Thailand, to be specific. And no, I didn't cry, gasp, or have a need to chug enormous amounts of liquids afterwards (gimme a break, anyone eating something that spicy is gonna need some cool liquid to wash it down with!)

:-)

I thought it would be interesting to show you all a map of the countries represented in my programme. It's late, so I hope I didn't forget any countries... I think this is it though:
