So I swore to myself that I'm going to carry my camera at all times. I forgot to do this once again when I went to the lake for fun...but the pictures are uploaded on AIESEC Galati blog so check it out if you want to see people in bathing suit :) We had a lot of fun at the lake. Swimming and BBQ-ing. It was probably not the safest place to swim but it didn't matter...we are invincible.
We went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Kai was not very happy that they didn't bring everyone's meal at the same time (there were about 20 minutes between the first and last dish), but food was ok. I am spoiled by the Chinese restaurants in Atlanta (and I say CHINA INN on Peachtree Industrial Bulevard is the best) so the restaurant did not impress me as much, but I guess the people at the table made up for it.
Then I learned how to play Texas Hold'em - it's funny, I've never even imagined that I would learn how to play "Texas" Hold'em in Romania. I was terrible at it but with the beginner's luck, I succeed to stay in the game for longer than I thought. I need to learn how to bluff. Then afterwards we played some dice games that everybody participated. We had loads of fun last night and I think these pictures can explain it better than my words.
Lastly, I want to thank Mihai and his family for letting me stay in their place and eat their food. Mihai's mother is a great cook! I think I'll miss the food a lot when I move out of this place. One thing I noticed in Galati is that vegetables are very tasty. Mihai prepared a tomato salad this morning (or noon, I slept in this morning) and it was great. I don't know exactly why veggies in the States are so tasteless. Or maybe it's a seasonal thing.

Their vegetables are organic, I'm guessing. Organic always tastes better.
Post pictures of food!! :D
I never buy organic stuffs in the States because naturally they are expensive, but maybe I should change that. I've been forgetting to take pictures of food because they disappear into my stomach before I think of taking one. But I'll try.
Yes, vegetables most everywhere outside of the U.S. are much, much more delicious. It's remarkable how amazing a simple salad with a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and a tiny bit of mayonnaise can be when the vegetables that go into it are high quality.
It's finally starting to be watermelon season here, so I'm looking forward to my first taste of that in Kazakhstan. Maybe in the near future. :)
Tomatoes, cucumbers, and a tiny bit of mayonnaise would've sounded a little disgusting with Kroger quality veggies, but now it sounds awesome.
You should just eat a giant watermelon for a meal ;)
