The Cohai Lunch

I just had my first cohai lunch experience.
Have you ever seen the matrix, now I am not exactly sure which part, but it’s supposed to be the one where neo gets a look at the kind of food they serve in the Nebuchadnezzar.
Now that is exactly what the food looked like. Some kind of white soup with lumps in it, some chicken skin floating around and I am pretty sure those weird dreads were hairs. Aside from the soup we also got some white rice pudding, now there is nothing more nasty than rice pudding, its just so gooey.
Aside from that, the chicken was nice. The rice was overcooked but I did however enjoy the sweet bun, reminded me of home.
After I was done eating, I was once again attacked by some Cuban (this was a girl that worked there) who was wondering if I wanted to sell my glasses. In a perfect world honey, where you had more money, maybe I would have, but my Emporio Armani’s are worth 200 usd. No Cuban I know has ever had the possibility to buy that.
And plus, I love them.

I felt kind of anxious about going home this morning. But that feeling is gone now as I sit here on the bed again, listening to Speakerphone by Kylie, sweating because the air conditioning isn’t working, smelling dirty feet and realizing its me. My slippers have been attacking me, I don’t have my bathing slippers, so my adidas gets wet when I shower. And in these communal baths you NEED to have slippers if you do not want herpes or hepatitis C(uban).
