Food

A few weeks ago, I went to a night market with some friends. After walking for a while, a friend said that he was a bit hungry and we decided to get some food for dinner.

We spent some time choosing the restaurant because a friend is a vegetarian and there’s a lot of food that he doesn’t eat. In the end, we chose a restaurant, which served fried rice and noodles without meat. So, that satisfied his requirement.

He indicated that it might not be easy to eat out with him because there’s so much food he doesn’t eat. However, for me, it’s totally fine. We can just choose a restaurant that he can go.

While traveling, it’s very important to understand the habits of your travel partners. For example, a few years ago, I traveled with some friends in the United States. We went to Florida. Among us, one friend is a vegetarian. Before going out for lunch or dinner, we always checked carefully to see whether the restaurant serves the food that my friend can eat. However, sometimes, we went to a restaurant that served food, which couldn’t satisfy my friend’s expectations. In the end, she only ate salad.

Each one has his or her habits, before traveling, it’s very important to understand each one’s preferences and communicate effectively. During that trip in Florida, I felt bad that my friend sometimes had to wait for us for lunch or dinner because the food in the restaurant didn’t fits her requirements. At the beginning, we didn’t think that it would be a big problem. However, it’s a good lesson. After the trip, we don’t have any problems while going out for dinner. We already know her requirements and we can choose the restaurant that serves food, which fits my friend’s requirements.
