XD I hope it turns out okay. >.> *hands you pillow* Aww maybe you need some rest too. XD Though breakfast sounds good as well. X) I think I need to go eat something as well. Though what is mate?
mate is a drink we take here in south america, it's very popular ^^ outsiders thinks we're smoking something like grass xD but we're not! here is a pic: empty mate: [link] there are many styles of mate: wooden, metal, cow horns...and more! yerba mate (the "grass" lol it's similar to tea, it contains a substance called "mateina" wich has the same effect that black tea or coffe, it wakes you up! *u*: [link] setted up mate: [link] then you put hot water (not boiled because it tastes very bad and you would burn your tongue xD that's not nice) and drink ^^ [link] [link] you can use sugar, or add lemmon skin, orage skin, mint or wathever you want.
the very firs mate a mother gives to its child has more sugar than anything xD but it's a special moment. Mate is very important here, it's a good excuse for meeting up with somebody to talk (it's more common to say "come home and drink some mates" than "let's drink a coffe".
