Mumbai seems like it would be a perfect amusement park. Especially for children. Allow me to explain:
- You can drive ANYWHERE you want to. ANY lane. ANY time. You can even go as fast as you want to. I haven’t seen a single person pulled over for speeding here. Every car ride is like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! Sweet!
- Everything is cheap. Food, rides, food, and entertainment (not to mention food). I can buy a good, satisifying lunch for a dollar. In fact, four of us trainers ate for under 6 dollars. Can’t beat that!
- From the smell of certian places, you can use the bathroom where ever you want! Bonus!
- The money is colorful! Like Disney Dollars, but you can actually USE them!
- In some portions of the city, it looks like clothing is optional.
So there you have it, folks. I’m going to open a new theme park when I come back to America called: Mumbailand. I’ll make millions.
If the theme park doesn’t work, I know what will. Indian Burgers. Yep, I had mine yesterday, and I have to say it was darn good. I think India has something here. All it would take is for one stand to open up in America, and the owner will be rich. It’s all vegetarian, but unlike most vegetarian meals, this one tastes GOOD (in fact, every vegetarian meal over here tastes good. If we had this kind of veg. food back in the States, *I* would become a vegetarian). I figure I would have no problem roping in the hippies/health nuts and homesick Indians, but I could also convert many fast-foodites as well. One taste of this burger (which is nothing but seasoned potatoes and spinach, flattened into a patty and fried) and I think I can convert even the most carnivorous meatatarian.
Switching gears, I’ve gotten the request to take more photos. Of course, the day I decide to bring my camera, it rains all day. Nonetheless, I have taken some photos and will upload them when I get home (er…hotel). But until then, I have a class to teach!
I haven’t read your last two entries yet, but I felt the need to comment on something I’m reading right now. An Onion interview with the guys of Stella.
“Part of our show is that we’re friends, and the strange rituals of male bonding. And there’s such a fine line between male bonding and gay sex.”
Whole artive to be found here.
Discover what their secret is to the tasty veggie dishes! In relation to my last post… this is the perfect opportunity to bond with me buddy… or wait, no; no – yes, that’s deffinitly not what I didn’t mean.
keep posting about food.
i am very interested in good food that does not cause one’s stomach to explode!
(i’m really worried that i’m going to be so overwhelmed by the delicious food that i will eat everything i see and promptly die of giardia or an amoeba eating my indsides or something.)
I have been keeping a food diary of all the things I’ve eaten and it’s english translation.
Honestly, I love spicy (both heat and spice) food, and I’m in heaven here.
And I’ve eaten at some questionable places without getting ill. If you’ve got a strong stomach, you’ll do fine. We’ve even got a a few weaklings who think that water is too much spice, and they seem to do well here. But they sure to bitch about everything.
On that fateful day eight years ago….
You know I have tried hard to suppress the feeling of loss and longing that has lingered within my heart for the last eight years, and yet you try your darndest to bring it to the surface.
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CLOSE Mr. TOAD’S WILD RIDE!!!!?????shift/
And even worse, why did they have to replace it with that Winnie the Pooh crap? I hate you Michael Eisner!
Any pics of the Indian Burger? The food sounds awesome!
Actually, tomorrow or tuesday, I’m buying Vada Pav’s (Indian Burgers) for everyone in my class.
Being as they only cost 10rs. a burger, I think I can afford them for everyone in my class
