Lunch

Its lunchtime and so I thought I would make a change from blogging in the internet café from under my house, and write from my desk… this week I have been seeing a lot of my desk, however it appears to be a temporary blip amidst a busy training schedule.

Lunchtime is an hour and a half; we usually go outside to a small stall to eat. Outside is hot, inside is deceptively cool with the aircon. We have had a bit of rain the last few days, but on the whole the weather is clear and hot everyday.
Today’s menu was the usual plate of rice, a fish dish and liver and cabbage soup with pork fat to flavour. Basically you spoon a bit of what you want to eat onto the rice... today I have to say wasn’t the most appetising of lunches, normally there are more greens and less pork fat. Before I came here Lonely Planet gave me the impression that eating would involve lots of chopstick action, however mostly people use spoons and forks (not knives) and only occasionally do they get out the chopsticks!
After eating we go to another stall and get some freshly pressed sugar cane juice on ice mmmmm and then some mango from another seller. The mango is amazing, today we had green mango, its sort of unripe, but tastes great, you dip the mango in a small bag of salt and chili they give you… interesting tingling taste sensation.
After eating I tend to feel very very sleeeepie (perhaps because we start work at 7.30????) there is a ‘sleeping’ room at work but I’m not convinced…

Anyways enough mundane information… I shall get back to watching the over by over cricket update courtesy of the guardian…
