No, no, I mean tasty. And she's always giving me eh. What do you call 7?—small plates of food during the day, so I always return home feeling calm and refreshed and8!

    I wouldn't like9there, though. I prefer living in the city. I'm a city person. I10live in a small village where everybody knows each other. I'd rather live in a busy, exciting place. But I really love visiting the villages for holiday.
