RE: Vegetarian Travel

Eating
I’m a vegetarian. I stopped to eat meat two years ago. I feel a
little nervous about travelling to other countries. I am going to
Ghana in September. Is it easy finding meatless dishes there?
Re: love those tacos

I love to eat tacos for lunch. I think they are delicious,

convenient, nutritious and inexpensive. I don’t even mind to
have the same thing everyday! What do you think?

Re: Takoyaki

octopus) when I go to Japan. Is there a Takoyaki shop you can
recommend my going to? I look forward to hear from you.

people from other countries. If you want to know about

Re: Calamari

Hi! I was in Italy last month. I don’t usually like eating

seafood, So I was not eager trying calamari (squid). I was
surprised finding that I liked it! I expected it being tough, but
it’s actually quite tender if prepared well.

Re: cheap and delicious in Taiwan

Are you going to Taiwan? If so, I suggest to try the little
restaurants around the National University in Taipei. Eat there
is cheap and it’s easy finding the neighborhood. The dumpling
shops are great- once you eat one dumpling there, you won’t
stop eating.
