[...Okay, either your informant was seriously shifty or somebody took a brick to the head mid-conversation and he's not about to pause this to go KANEKI-KUN ARE YOU HAVING SOME SORT OF LEGITIMATE MENTAL EMERGENCY because that's going to be super-offensive if you're not. So hang on, let him try to. Uh. Work out what's. Going. On?
You obviously seem to have some idea of what you're aiming for, otherwise this wouldn't be a question, but at the same time the question itself is so...goddamn confused when all the other ones were straightforward, so -
...what the hell are you doing, are you trying to ascertain whether he'll give you valid information if yours is deficient, or...
Remind me to teach you how to do this sort of thing properly one day, all right?
But yes, there's something here that happens every six months that can have that sort of effect; I was present for it the last time that happened. We're due for another round of that in May, I believe, assuming what I've heard about it is true.
It's not nearly as simple as you're describing it, however; my memories of it are hazy, but some people receive..."gifts" from home, to put it very lightly - items they wouldn't have here. They only have them for the duration; they're gone after those three days.
Of course, people like us receive certain physical gifts from home as well, and they aren't nearly as pleasant. Don't worry about it too much; you'll be fine without eating for that period of time.
There's also the possibility that you'll see people that normally aren't here - people you know, people that are important to you. I've had that happen myself, actually.

Did that tell you what you wanted to know?
