As vegetarians, we have a few suggestions to offer. During the first half of our trip, at almost every meal, we were offered similar dishes because we didn't realize that there were greater selections (cold/ hot) that were available. A great help would be to present a picture book of meals/ vegetables, so that the customer would know what is available. We also feel that the meal stipend was too high - we never came close to finishing it (as vegetable dishes are cheaper than meat dishes) and a lot of food was wasted.
