I got a package from Uzbekistan from my host family. When they asked me what I wanted in a package, I told them that all I really wanted was a teapot and some cups. Then they asked me if I wanted chocolate, to which I answered "NO" just like that, in full caps. Then they asked me if I wore scarves, and I told them that occasionally I did wear them, but not often.
So in the package, I got a teapot, cups, a scarf and a pound of chocolate. I never really liked chocolate when I was in Uzbekistan. I found (with a few exceptions) the cake, candies and chocolate unappetizing. But it shows how used to everything I had been that I occasionally ate the chocolate there. As I taste tested the first bit of chocolate, the only thing I could say about it was that it was completely inedible. I gave a piece to some other people and the looks on their faces were so funny. They warred between wanting to vomit and being polite.
I love my host family dearly and am so happy that they sent me stuff, especially that teapot. But they should let me send them chocolate from now on.
