Twilight (2012)
“I didn’t expect room-service standards but I was pleased by a little cardboard sign on the room phone—in English, French and German—that advised me that hot meals were served three times a day in the cafeteria and cold meals were available at any time.

In the cafeteria there were what looked to be nearly a hundred people, plus a virtual Babel of voices and accents. There were civilians,... doctors and nurses, and even some patients, either in wheelchairs or propelling themselves around by metal walkers or canes. Scattered throughout the crowd were the military uniforms of maybe a half-dozen different countries, and their only similarity was the UNFORUS arm patch and brassard on the left arm and the TLDs hanging off lapels. I stood in line and grabbed a plastic tray, still damp and warm from having just been washed. My stomach growled cheerfully at the prospect of hot food coming by for a visit.MoreLess
