Cooking!
Well, well, well - international MC experience is indeed a learning experience - not only in AIESEC but also personally!
Especially coming from an Indian family, being a vegetarian and having no siblings will have all the more impact and changes on you when you live abroad!
I remember the times last year on the Indian MC, where we never cooked - ordered food from everywhere to now in Sweden, where you gotta cook almost every day! Miss those times :) Was indeed very lucky then. But now times have changed!
Never ever in my 23 years have I bothered to go in the kitchen, see whats my mum been doing and how much effort it takes to cook a whole meal. Now I realize what my mum went through, when I ordered food at home and got pissed when some salt was less or wasnt according to my best liking!
Well this time was suddenly a change back in IC at home, where I had an excellent time appreciating my mum's food and sharing these feelings with my parents. Indeed they were happy!
And i have managed to have a decent hand on cooking now, since there are no options for me..
I think i can manage to cook some basic indian dishes now with the exact flavour..Here are some pictures on what i can do :) Btw, i have started to enjoy cooking!
Truly AIESEC changes lives...

Welcome to real life darling... your mum cannot take care of you for the rest of your life.
And exactly as you said, AIESEC changes life. THis is part of learning... I am fighting with my cooking style as well ;)
Anywayz, this food looks quite good, can I come to check it out?
i took my mom to an indian restaurant so she could study the food and tell me how to cook it.
Since Egypt is very similar to india, i will still order from the indian place( and chinese, pizza hut, Mcdonalds, and everything else that you can think of) and leave my mom's recipe hanging on the fridge.
Cook for me! I miss Indian food. I'm still trying to grasp this whole cooking business for myself. I guess you could say I'm a bit lazy.....so my dishes aren't exactly the most tasty yet. But I'll keep you posted if I get any better :P
Hi, I like your blog. I have cousins that live in Gothenburg and when I went there I went to Liseberg amusement park too. Chow for now.
