I have been in CM for a couple of months but didn’t have the courage to try some of the foods on my own. I liked the little booklet of information we were given and now I try to look for these foods when I’m out with my friends at dinner and I even have them try the new foods as well. It’s worth the money and you will be very full by the end of the tour. Thank you Mr. Goal!”
