Supper at the University Canteen

Dear Ernst risked his already fragile reputation by taking Arden and I to his University canteen for supper, to show us around (and because the food is so cheap)... Arden made full use of the opportunity and made a complete spectical of us- as if we weren't already- 2 white people with backpacks and a kid in a varsity canteen! The food- well... noodles in watery soupy water with sour cabbage, deep fried sardines, fried veg and pork dumplings- they were filled with a smelly yellow liquid- so not sure where the pork comes in? I'm really trying to be adventurous and try stuff... but only served to strengthen my resolve to stick to veg options...
After our delightful supper, Ernst stayed at Varsity for class and Arden and I hit the peak hour traffic home- the photo doesn't do justice... Arden had also made a major poo- so you can imagine what we smelt like- with him on my back... maybe meant we had slightly more space to ourselves?
