A Lesson Learnt!

In yesterday's entry I mentioned that I would comment a wee bit more about the food and stuff in Mumbai. Well it is outstanding in the few places we have been so far, but it is unbelievably cheap! On the first night here; eight of us had a meal of a main course and bowls of rice etc. with a drink each for just over 2000 rupees ( about twenty eight pounds). The portions were outrageous and it is shameful to have seen the waste from our tables being taken away after walking past the children, old people and lame begging on the streets.

Since then we have tried to work out more effectively what exactly we need on our table. Often at home I would admit that I waste food sometimes without thinking. I hope to take this experience home with me and this might be bad news for some of the local junk food shops.

Hey Raymie, the wee man passed your www address. I am sitting here in Grangemouth laughing away at your references to games on your travels. I also think technology is amazing,however Al is a bit dubious. He could not get a google account cause he would not agree to terms and conditions, he thought it might cost something, me I thought what the hell, take it form my budget (hehee).

Well my comments are boring and so not funny compared to your storytelling, which by the way I feel that you should consider selling these as short stories, I'd read them.

Take care and I will open up and read more whenever I feel bogged down with it all.

Cheers
