I ordered a salad, which ended up being a plate laden with cabbage hiding under mayonnaise. I looked around and took stock. My dining companions were from New Zealand, India, Brazil, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Korea, USA, Australia, Russia, France, Turkmenistan, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand.
I can't imagine that my grandparents would have ever imagined this could be possible; much less desirable; much less possible for me.
The conversation was quite boring at times and some people didn't like the food. Must be what it's like at lunch time in the United Nations canteen.

great pun, you're having think, again...how much "global" can we be? are we closer to others because of globalization?...
hope you're well xox
yes i definitely think we're closer to people. and i think that's an overall good thing. shame that so many of them are so boring. (i'm sure they say the same about me.)
Food for thought, indeed. And what a shame they cannot witness this. And what will I not witness of my grandchildren that will be impossible to forecast??
