It's like a temple you know.. it's not like I'm really not allowed.. I just don't dare going there, lol! In Indonesia you are being served.. and this is what they keep from their culture so I don't even pour my own water :D
They keep asking me all day if I want this or that and then they bring it to me. When I finish eating or drinking they clean everything after me..
Food is the center of their life.. it's just a little bit different to what we are used to. It was also strange to me at the beginning but I got used to it..
Hahaha, my style? Ok, ok, I'll have a look tomorrow morning, is it fine? I'm pleased that you trust my opinion.
Oh man!!! I hope Mrs. J won't notice your personality change :D if she got used to the teasing Jonboy she might not like the change to a nice boy like you're now :D
wow Martina, I want to go visit those guys too! I'll even eat super tofu! dang. that is so different. well here the woman would be highly offended if the visiting wife didn't help her in the kitchen so this is totally opposite!
No wonder you feel like a queen there! so that's the way you're going to work it in your house? or do you guys just order pizza and shout "Every man for himself!" lol.
When I'm organizing dinner at home for my friends I also don't let my guests help me. But my kitchen is together with the dinning room so I can talk to them while cooking :)
Usually they ask if they can help but I don't like anybody helping me with cooking :) And my experience is the same when I visit my friends. I ask them if they need help but they always say, just sit down and enjoy :)
Come to the Netherlands! I'm sure she would love to prepare a meal for you :)
howdy this morning Marina! but it's not morning there I know, so it is definitely a cultural difference which people need to be aware of. well when you get here just be prepared to be put to work! lol.
Why don't you just say 'Good afternoon' instead? LOL!
yeah you're right Martina, that would be better and more curteous and less self-centered of me!
Now I'm speechless :D
in fact I'll try to do better. see I'm still being super nice to you because you looked at my pitiful, loser post.
