Musings of an Idiot

Food

It is hard getting used to the food back here. I do miss the nice home cooked meals as well as indian meals we had outside. Suddenly I don't feel like eating much and have already skipped breakfast and had a burger for lunch. I guess I will have to start cooking soon otherwise my budget won't be a budget anymore.

And I do really miss my bed and quilt in Delhi - I have had the most fantastic sleep in that bed and now being back on my single bed with a springy matteress isn't the greatest feeling. I love winters in Delhi because you can be snuggled up in the warm and cozy quilt and nothing else in the world matters at that point, it is just pure bliss.

Talking of burgers - the grilled chicken burger at McDonalds in Hong Kong was yummy. McD has adapted that burger to local tastes and it was the yummiest chicken burger I had and that burger does not compare to it's NZ counterpart. The indian version of the same burger is alright and is again localized for the tastes.

Played badminton again after a month and felt pretty rusty. It will take a couple more times to get back into the flow of things. Got invited to a BBQ at Dean and Rebecca's place {we play badminton together} and it was the first decent meal I have had since I landed in NZ. BBQ is probably the one thing that stands out in Australia and NZ over the summer. Meat cooked over a BBQ grill definitely has a unique taste that can't be replicated anyway else.

Still sorting out my room and cleaning it up slowly. Another couple of days and it will be in place. Internet will be back in a couple of days and then I can start uploading the snaps.

Till then,
Amit
