Could you curry these bags for me?

Curry Rice in a Bag

Wow, Chicken pineapple curry rice in a plastic bag! Only 30 Rupees ($0.25 Canadian) a bag, probably the best (and hottest.. and cheapest) curry I've eaten in Sri Lanka. I guess when you buy it in a bag it's almost certainly eaten by the local population. Generally us tourists like plates, cutlery etc. Luckily I normally carry my KFS (Knife Fork Spoon) in places that generally eat with their hands =)

See the thing is I don't want to go to the bank machine again in this country. So I woke up with 820 Rupees plus some coins. Half an hour on the internet firstly was 30, 2 bags of rice curry 60.

Then at Lunch I ate Curry Rice Vegetables, BIG portion at the internet cafe for 75 Rupees!

Last night Siri installed MSN Messenger and we chatted on there for a while.

I slept really great too, after the rain last night it was much cooler and I could sleep without friggin sweating for once! Today is hot as hell and very humid too.

So it's my last day in Sri Lanka, I'm ready to move on. Bangkok should be really interesting, I've got a contact there who was courteous to provide me with some great information on budget hotels, he also happens to be one of the former Governors. =)

The e-mail was really interesting because the area he said was quite safe was because an ex-army general opened a hotel in the area and "arranged" it with the other owners to keep the area clean and hired ex-NCO's as security for the area! That is the sort of neat information about an area you don't generally hear about... But it is really quite cool and gives you a new perspective on the area.

I think this is my last post in this country... So goodbye Sri Lanka, Good Times, Great Times, and a few weird times.

Thailand HO!
