  2. Welcome back Selba! I'm sure you are thrilled to be home after such a long journey.

    I'm not quite sure as to what to say about this selection of "Camp Food." I think it's best if I say, thanks for sharing your experience. Now, get some rest:)

    2. oic, so you're being sort of a counselor there? or just posing as a kid? :D

      BTw, 28 days and I only see one cup of coffee, I'd gone berserk there :p

    3. albert chandra: Not counselor but as the leader for the Indonesian delegation :) I almost drank coffee every morning but I just didn't really capture it in the pics ;)

    1. irene: minggu pertama, makanannya boleh dibilang bener2 ancur abis, kebayang donk masa makan siang cuma bread w/ peanut butter & jam. Anak2 pada kelaparan, untung aja pada bawa pop mie. Jadinya kalo sore, mereka bisa nyeduh dan makan pop mie. Untungnya sih begitu masuk ke minggu ke 2 dan seterusnya, makanannya lumayan. Trus, guess what? Gw tuh cuma makan makanan ini lho, hardly yg namanya ngemil but then, berat badan gw nambah dan baju2 jadi sempit :(

  6. Oh dear, I feel like this is a really bad representation of American food (though pretty accurate for camp and school meals, how sad)! Also, Mississippi in the summer?!? AHHH! Though I guess it's not that different from Indonesia....

    1. mica: Believe it or not, the first week, I experienced constipation because of the food :( I hardly ate any snack or other stuff beside the food being served for b'fast/lunch/dinner but you know what? I gained 8 pounds from all this kind of food!!! I guess it's all because of the hidden calories in the fried food, mayonnaise or salad dressing or sodium & sugar.

    1. aris munandar: Looking at the pictures again... and yes, I agreed that most of the food at the camp look pathetic.

      The Newk's sandwiches are delicious. In fact, I had a chance to eat at their restaurant during my day off, here's the link: http://selbyfood.blogspot.com/2013/08/newks-eatery.html

      Yup, believe it or not, I survived by only eating peanut butter & jelly bread plus banana for lunch, no snacks nor other food at all until the dinner time. The Indonesian kids didn't survived, they got starved and had to eat instant pop mie in the afternoon.
