Looks like this could also be an advertisement for Coca-cola. I think all but two families had it in their pics - even those in the Shingkhey Village! Very interesting.
That was interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I wish I was on the Egyptian diet. Of course, here just the green peppers would have made up half the money spent.
That was fascinating. $300. is my food budget for the whole month not one week.
