just a few little things

we're on our way back now, at the amsterdam first class lounge which is very very nice. yet another reason to fly first class, thank you patti and wayne. yesterday in mumbai we went on a walking tour and went to crawford market and did other stuff too. at a supermarket thing i saw a bottle of soda that was masala flavored. masala means "spice'' pretty much. so i thought that was funny. also the other night we were talking to some mumbai-ans and they were interesting - when they äsked us where we're from and we told them america, one of them shouted '"nelson mandela!"" and we asked them if they work together or how they are friends, and one of them told us he's a vegetarian but the others are not. he said veg, nonveg. that's what a lot of restaurants say. they call themselves veg or nonveg or both. also when a place calls themselves a hotel, it often means it's a restaurant. and there's often an a/c section and a non a/c section, and it costs a few rupees more to eat in the a/c section. but it's often worth it.

oh, also at the supermarket we saw a lot of tea for sale that came with a free/included bottle of ketchup. weird.
