Keeping in touch with the people you met throughout college is hard. When my foreign exchange friend moved back to Japan, I tried to keep in contact with her by email but soon realized she had probably moved to her regular email address instead of her school. Years have past since my last email to her and I had soon forgotten I even sent them. Surprisingly the other day, in my inbox was an email from her responding to my previous year old messages. Apparently, I had been right in assuming that she had returned to her home school's email address. It's exciting to think that even after so much time has past and so much distance some friendships hold true.
Speaking of surprises from other countries, I was recently told of a monthly subscription snack box, UniveralYums. Each month gives you a new box filled with savory, sweet and spicy treats from the featured country. I wish I could have signed up in time for Japan but I am still excited to get this month's choice.
Although, the company won't tell you which box is coming each month. They do give you a clue as to what that country may be.
This month's clue is:
"You may have heard of their coffee, their music, their beach.
But next month it's their snacks that are well within reach.
Coconut candied Fun Fruits. Weird Chips.
This will be a fiesta you don't want to miss. "
I'm thinking some place in South America. My original guess was Mexico but I abandoned that idea when I realized that their box was issued a few months ago. A quick trip to the UniversalYums facebook page and the country was revealed.
ITS COLUMBIA!!
So excited, I worked with the foreign exchange center in college and was constantly meeting students from Columbia. Their country sounds so fascinating and until I am able to travel there myself this UniversalYum box is going to be my ticket there.
