Day 9

Today marks the beginning of the Lent season with the day of Ash Wednesday.

For all Catholics, today we were supposed to be fasting, meaning that we have to eat fully only once a day, you can eat snacks during the day but only one full meal. So I decided to have my full meal after my POLI 3 class, which was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I went to the cafeteria to get a bacon cheeseburger. Because I have a friend who works in the burger counter, I get this very extraordinary burger with tons of bacon. When I was ready to eat my only full meal of the day, my friend came up to me and said that on a fasting day, you are not supposed to eat meat also. Sadly, I have to abandon the burger and bought a slice of vegetarian pizza and a bag of Cheetos. Here is the picture of my meal today.

I looks mouth-watering, but I personally think it does not taste as good as it looks. I do not know why, maybe it was because I started to feel tired of eating Western food everyday, or it was because the pizza is just not that good. Either way, this doesn't alter the fact that I really do miss eating Asian food that I'm so used to.
