13/11/2008

So I’ve found a wonderful place to enjoy momos, cake and coffee all at once. And internet too! It’s the most charming cafe which treats you to fabulous chocolate cake while you wirelessly surf the web. The staff are all very friendly, but communicate through signing since they are either deaf or mute. I still can’t really figure out the Canadian value of anything (well I can, just after pondering it for a while, and converting from rupees.)

Rooftop meals are common here, so you can enjoy your cheese and tomato sandwich (with fries!) while observing the patterns of traffic below. So far, I haven’t been able to identify a pattern. Everyone moves at once, but nobody is in a rush. Bicycles weave around all over the narrow streets while the drivers of taxis lean out of their windows trying to find someone who might want a ride. I’ve witnessed a handful of cows who lumber around the streets as if they own the place, and the dogs all confidently cross and stop at will.
