No meals are provided
at WCC, so there’s an opportunity to find food from local eateries. Emily Evans
and I went across to a huge shopping centre across the road. But first we went
past protesters, apparently angry that WCC encourages dialogue with Muslims
(and other faith traditions), and supports the rights of gay people. The
protesters were respectful but clearly some were passionate about their
viewpoint. There is certainly a large police presence around Bexco to keep it
safe for so many foreigners gathered in one place.
Emily (About FACE 8 alumni) took me up to
the food court in a massive shopping centre (past the Trevi fountain replica – kind of a copy of Las Vegas
copying European treasures). You order by number (a bit of guess work to figure
out what each picture represents). The thin metal chopsticks take a bit of
getting used to (I thought I was good at the regular wooden variety but
requires fine motor skills to master the thinner metal ones – hard to grasp and
slippery. I saw a couple of local ladies holding them high up very daintily.
Hmmm, not something I can manage so I’ll improvise as best I can!
I ordered a dish that
had a LOT of noodles. Nothing like a lot of carbohydrate to get through a long
day! And they were slippery noodles to manage with slippery chopsticks. But I
didn’t starve (I’m also very determined!!).
