Hi Helena! Yes, every country has its shortcomings, there is no complete perfection. Everything depends on people, the procedure consists of conscientious work of each employee in any field. In any country there are problems, they are solved gradually and who are satisfied or no money for large-scale reconstruction. Many problems seen abroad, but it is important for each relation to tourists, friendliness and quality food in a restaurant. In Italy not really try to be a good cook for tourists, and sometimes prices for them are higher than for the Italians. In no other country has not seen such. People in the world live within your means, therefore, cafes, restaurants, shops for all segments and for each pocket. In China we ate only in good restaurants, but we were offered to taste bugs. I look at it can not, then that is. Has anyone tried said tasty and then I'll regret. Even food is the philosophy and the meaning that I conquered. I may not be in another country, quickly bored and all I want in Russia. No country in the world there is no such freedom as we do, we can do what we want, go where I want and say what I think. We have no surveillance and wiretapping of each, and to live under the gun unbearable. Today in Russia the celebration of Family, Love and Faithfulness, I congratulate your whole family! Good travels and happiness to you, Helena!

You are right Elena : in every country, life and how you live, what you eat, is different. That is the beauty of Earth and each one of us, is used to its own country's habits and style - which is normal. By the way, I have eaten bugs few years ago, here in Montreal. Like you, I felt reluctant to them in my mouth. Not good either with a good glass of wine . . . NO, not for me. Though in many cultures, that is preferred food (full of protein).
Personally, I think it is so nice to have a Celebration of Family ! We do not have this in America. BravO for this warm family spirit Holiday.
Be well, be good, be happy and enjoy the day.
