Random Thursday Notes from Bagel Shop in Bandra

5 comments

I am going to try and type a little something here whenever I get on the internet. Here are a few random notes.

• The big bananas have green and brown skin. I thought they were spoiled, but I found a perfect fruit inside.
• This morning I bought 2 dozen eggs and 5 kilograms of chicken. That is 11 lbs of skinless, boneless chicken breast for Rs912 (about US$23) from Joseph's in Bandra. Akshay's little sister helped me find the place; it is right across from Gold's Gym.
• Vegetables are crazy cheap.
• Most families eat dinner REALLY late here, like 8pm or 10pm every day.
• A few notes about toilets now... 
• All of the Western toilets I have seen have cheap plastic seats, while the remainder of the bowl is usually a nice porcelain.
• When you flush, it is like Niagara Falls. I think 30 or 40 gallons must pour down the drain.
• Most all of the restaurants and coffee shops and gym bathrooms here in Bandra have had toilet paper. But hardly will you ever find towels to dry your hands.
• Auto-Rickshaws are awesome.
