Today was a good day at the cafeteria. Well, except that I ended up eating fried potatoes twice (should've gone for cucumbers at dinner instead...). But there was a decent pork roast for lunch, and a nice schnizel for dinner.
And the cafeteria ladies were really nice. And I talked to them! Entirely in German! At lunch we discussed whether there would be schnizel for dinner, and when I would be returning home to the US, and at dinner I showed one of them how to use chopsticks.
(Apparently it's Chinese Food Week, so they had chopsticks, but since they also had schnizel and large slabs of non-chopstick-eatable pork, I'm not entirely sure I understand the connection. But I didn't discuss this part.)
In any case, the takeaways from this blog post was that (a) I was well-fed today (er, except for the vegetables), and that (b) I can speak German!
