yes, i once had to wait in like 95-100 degrees for a van to fill up, and you can't get out cause if people don't see people in it sometimes they'll do other stuff. it's shitty. apparently in albania there's a similar system.
meals - well, they have breakfast and then eat a pretty big meal around 3 or 4. it varies from family to family as it does anywhere. people often also have a snack in between breakfast and the big meal ("lunch") and/or a snack at like 8 or 9pm. but not necessarily. most of us brought sandwiches to school to tide us over until lunch around 4, but last weekw ith my new host mom i didn't, partly cause i was too lazy/polite to ask and partly cause her lunches are so big i'd rather have been hungry for a while than even more overfull in the end.
I'd probably just end up trying to give the driver more money to leave now!
Ah, right. I could live with a system like that. I seem to only eat two meals now with snacks in between. Partly because I can't decide what on earth I'd actually like for breakfast in the first place.
