When I am at word, some of the locals take me to lunch , sometimes to some places where I do really wonder if its going to cause me to spend the rest of the day on the toilet… but luckily that hasnt happened yet…touch wood!
This week I ate in this little wonder of a place on the way back from the airport to the office…
Now look in the back of the pic, you can see a kinda ladder leading up… well this is the stairs , albeit very steep stairs to the upper level which is airconditioned.
You climbed these steep stairs, entered this tiny door and presto you were in… problem. The ceiling is about 4 feet from the floor! There are beams going everywhere too, but they have thoughtfully covered these beams with cushioning thats covered by vinyl, to make it worse to get under these beams you have to duck way down, so under them you only have 3 ft from the floor to ceiling! And its dark, realy dark, there is just one ….
Oh I have to interrupt this , I have a houseboy at the moment living here minding the dogs, and he is making me breakfast, he just bought out a knife, put it on the table and then realised it was dirty, so what did he do, he used his dirty hand to scrape the food off. ……
Anyway this restuarant had just one lightbulb in it, so it was really really dark and sitting there at a normal sized table your head was just against the ceiling, it was very very strange, to be sitting the crawl space of a ceiling eating lunch. But it was clean, had no strange smells and there was no after effects from the chicken bryani, which had deep fried eggs in it (that was a strange concept, a deep fried egg!)
