Food Cravings

Since I last wrote not much has happened. Just been doing the shows as usual, but the crowds have been pretty small. Especially Tuesday night, it was the smallest crowd we have has since we've been here. Probably about 20 people the whole night, and they definitely weren't into us, but we still tried to have fun. Then last night it was a pretty normal size crowd for a Thursday night, and they didn't really dance but at least they clapped for us.
So last night while I was eating dinner I was sitting there thinking. First I was thinking about what was really in the food I was eating and second I was thinking about how similar all the food here is starting to taste. It seems like everything I eat here, no matter what it is, from local dishes to the burger or satay it all has a similar flavor. I mean yes it is delicious, but I definitely couldn't live on this food forever. You have no idea how much I miss food from home, even just plain things like an omelet and bacon. But last night I was really having a craving for Mexican food! A big taco salad, some refried beans, or better yet the Fiesta Grande Salad from La Cocina... mmmmm it's making my mouth water just thinking about it, but I guess I can do without it for now, but only because I have to.
OK I gotta get my mind off of that! So I'm sure you've all heard that we are going to Vietnam next, we're allowed to release that "classified information" now, not really sure why we couldn't before. Earlier last week they told us we were going to be flying out of here on January 4Th at 4:00 p.m. and then arriving there at 5:30 p.m. (it's around a two and a half hour flight with an hour time change) and then doing our first shows that night at 8:00. That seemed like not very smart planning to me, it would leave no extra time for anything. But then we just found out yesterday that we will now have 5 days off once we get there before starting our shows. That's the best news ever. I feel like my voice will finally get a full rest and come all the way back before starting again so I'm quite excited about that. I think that's about all the news for now!
