Riddle은 수수께끼인데요. 

질문을 듣고 무엇인지 맞추는데 창의성이 좀 필요해요.

예전에 읽었던 이집트 신화가 생각나요.

스핑크스가 길목을 지키고 앉아 수수께끼를 내는데요.

맞추는 사람은 지나갈 수 있지만 틀리면 죽임을 당하는 그런 이야기였어요.

"What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, three legs in the evening, and no legs at night?"

그 스핑크스가 바로 이 질문을 했어요.

정답은 따로 댓글에 적을게요.

 

이 외에 음식점 이야기도 좀 나눴어요.

 

Nicaraguan restaurant인 Fritanga와 Moroccan restaurant인 Baida를 알게 됐어요.

이 중에 Baida를 가봤는데 처음 먹는 모로코 음식인데도 입맛에 잘 맞았어요.
