Truly a nice international community.... That would definitely broaden
one's outlook...   And with you all taking turns cooking, that would
also broaden one's palate.... 

I had less of that at that stage of my life, although, in my highschool
years, we were living in the Philadelphia area, where many of our
denomination's missionaries would come for their furlough year, so we
had a little experience with other cultures and cuisines through them...
so that at least sparked interest that expanded later...
