A few more things while I'm coherant
May. 23rd, 2010 08:01 amFor the most part, the jet lag doesn't get to me here too much. What does trigger it, though is the fact that the sun is well and truly down before 7. (Official sunset time was 6:29pm today.) That truly kicks my butt.
That said, I don't think I've ever been a place where there are so many people up and around and doing any number of things as there are here at night. I didn't get into the hotel until 2am last night. There was still traffic on the roads, work being done, people at playgrounds and seemingly just hanging out. It /is/ cooler at night, which I can see being a factor in the whole thing.
I went outside for a bit today and then I came back in and hid in my hotel room. I do not like the sun much.
Right now I am eating tasty, tasty foods. NOM NOM. It is always true that the food you love of a culture is always better at home. (Unless it doesn't exist there.) Murgh Tikka Makhani with garlic naan. Mmmmmmmmm.
Holly, the pickles here tried to kill me. I wouldn't have known to try them with that lunch with you and Ariel but damn. They really tried to kill me with flavor.
