Small Every-day Moments

My "Every-day moments" is about small experiances that occurs in my everyday. It is small things that makes me laugh or smile, things that suprices me or even just things that makes me stop and wonder. I hope you'll enjoy it! 🙂

Downtown Crossing

Today is a Saturday and I went downtown with my classmate Susanne, who is 18 years old, and her housefamily's daughter Kelly, who is 9 years old. It's a beautiful day with sunshine and a blue sky, eventhough it's November. We walks down a street where young woman is standing - she is a salesperson, who wants you to help children in the third world by being a sponsor. She walks up to me and says: " Hi, are you the motherof these two girls?" (She looks at Kelly and Susanne!) I was frozen to the ground!! I just looked at her with my eyes open and didn't know what to say. Yes, I know I'm old enough for people to think that I could be a mother - but a mother of a 9 year old girl AND a 18 year old girl, aehh what?? I don't know if American women usually gets children at a very young age, or if I maybe look like a woman in her middle 30's - but at that point I was speechless! It made me wonder if I should take a look of my apperance or maybe just get and extreme plastic- surgery!

The "T"

I've decided to eat lunch with my classmate in chinatown. We've just visiting a museum and were know pretty hungry. We found a restaurent that looked good and went inside. It was a big restaurent with many tables, and a very beautiful room. I think it used to be a big theatre before it became a restaurent. We sat down and immediatly came a waiter with a small trolly with small tubs. In the tubs were small portions of different kind of food - nothing I've seen before! Well you have to be open to new things, so we chose some tubs.

I have to say that I've had better! Oh God! Somekind of fish and vegetables wrapped in somekind of white puff pastry - I nearly couldn't swallow whatever this was! I decided to try another tub. In this there was a kind of package - something wrapped in a big leaf - it looked OK so I went for it. I took a bite of the package - or I TRIED to take a bite! It was almost impossible! The leaf was very tough! I struggled with it for some time and finally got a piece off! That didn't taste very good either. While I tryed to chewed my way trough the leaf, a waiter rushed to our table and said: " no no, you have to open it. Don't eat the leaf, just the rice and chicken inside. You can't eat the leaf!" 

Well HELLO Janne! You just made a complete fool of yourself - trying to eat something that certaintly wasn't meant for eating! 

The rice and chicken inside was OK. 🤭
