Not so brave new world, or another freebie Esperanto might get you...

Ah, well, my unicode in the text-window for leaving a message in the lunch for my son seems to have broken the KidChow program! (Actually, I don't think it was the Esperanto, I had included some material on Oomoto, and apparently, it was the Japanese characters which made the system garble my order)

From my email correspondence with the company:

Got it. I see the issue. I haven’t seen this before and just got off the phone with my techie. It seems there is a site glitch we haven’t seen before in the lunchbox notes where if you enter certain special characters other than the standard ones like ! or ‘, it hiccups. I see your order is essentially blank. Please email me your lunch item requests and we’ll update your order. We’ll also buy the lunch! It’s the least we can do.

So not only can Esperanto get you free lodging in cities around the world though the Pasporta Servo, it can sometimes get you a free lunch!
