left our jobs, went to Asia

Bowl with rice and chopsticks, Cat Ba island, Vietnam

I don't mind skipping breakfast or, sometimes, lunch, if that's the circumstances. Asians don't think so. Eating comes probably second in importance after family. It counts to have a proper breakfast and then lunch on time. Never dinner alone.

Rice is a foundation of all nutrition, noodles come second. I think one of the most well combined dishes is noodle soup with meat. If you eat it in the morning, you get enough water to make it during the hot time of the day, noodles as a source of carbohydrates and energy, fresh vegetables for health. Add some pork or beef and you'll be as strong, as it takes to work long and hard.
