Today, in place of attending the amusement parks, I traveled along with two teachers from book store, to coffee shop, to the Mall at Millenia, all while solving a few math problems for state convention. What made the highlights of today were the lunch and dinner.

Indian food (as in India, Asia) was surprisingly delicious. Mostly for vegetarians, but there were a few meat foods; no beef though. Thus far, it is the most spicy food I’ve ingested. I tried several dishes, most of which I cannot pronounce, but what stood out of the crowd was the chutney. Mint chutney reminded of Japanese horseradish, mango was sweet and spicy (intriguing combination), and the spiciest of all: onion chutney. But the peculiar food travel wasn’t over yet.

Dinner was among the most surprising, Ethiopian. Not nearly as spicy as Indian, but fascinating in the manner of which to eat. The entire platter is set upon an injera, essentially a very thin pancake. With a separate plate of injera, you tear pieces of it to pick up various meats and vegetables. But after dinner there was a coffee ceremony where cups were prepared by roasting potent beans while burning incense and serving it in “shot glasses”. Strong doesn’t do this coffee justice.
