Oh Waiter!

Tonight we were given the opportunity to taste a little of what Croatian and Hungarian food will be like. The culture professors, as well as Professor Jaffee, were quick to point out that this will not be the trip for losing weight. For example, Hungarians enjoy heavy soups and fish dishes and the desserts are supposedly "to die for".


Conversation flowed easily and we are shaping up to be a "tight" group.


We also learned about some of the cultural differences between the US and the two countries we'll be visiting. There will be no free drink refills and no wait-staff checking on your satisfaction every two minutes. For those who miss home, Croatia has McDonald's and Coca Cola.


Next week, we'll be covering the Croatian economy and learning some more Hungarian.
