Day 57
Today Amy and I just went shopping during the day. I am starting to get so frustrated with the rickshaw drivers around here! This morning when we found one, we agreed on a price and told him to bring us to the city center. The city center is only 10 minutes away from the port, it ended up taking us 40 minutes because he insisted on bringing us to small shops to just ‘look around’, we didn’t have to buy anything, to just look. We refused to get out and told him no, we asked you to bring us to the city center and that was all, we didn’t want to go anywhere else. So after arguing with him for a few minutes he laughed at us and said fine. He brought us to the city center and expected us to pay him more for bringing us to the different places but we told him that we didn’t ask him to bring us to those places so we weren’t paying him more and we walked away. The city center was so nice, it’s a mall, and there was one store in there that had everything you could ever imagine, and they had some American clothes along with Indian clothes. I bought a shirt and some pants. For lunch we had pizza hut, it wasn’t much different than the US besides the fact that there wasn’t much sauce on it. We saw an Indian McDonalds, and since they don’t serve beef here, their meat is made with lamb. I took pictures of the menu. Tonight for dinner, Liz, Natasha, Amy, & I went to a ‘family type restaurant’. We had some Indian food, we had chicken masala, white rice, and buttered Nan bread. It ended up being SO good, at the end our waiter brought over a bowl filled with this stuff that looked like rabbit food and we asked what it was and he said it was mouthwash and he grabbed some and handed it to each of us, I had a little taste and it tasted like black licorice, gross!
