Some other asides after that journey:

- I seriously think I will be a vegetarian by the end of this experience. Chicken does not look like chicken here. I’m pretty sure they kill it out back when you order it.

·      I’ve seen way too many pigs too. And after eating pig ears, I don’t think pork and I will be bonding anytime soon. I’ll be looking into Islam after this. Then I can deny pork for religious reasons. Same with Hinduism and beef. Will it be wrong to say that I practice two major religions for dietary reasons? Perhaps scientology- aren’t they vegans?

- The rice is questionable too after journeying to the countryside. There are hundreds of cows and water buffaloes trouncing through the rice fields. I imagine they are relieving themselves out there too. I’m all about natural 

fertilizers and giving your animals free reign, but suddenly tofu is looking like the best (only) option. What is tofu, any way?

- All in all, not that there was questions in any mind, but I will not be going into the food production sector in my life. Although it would be the most effective diet program. Aka: anorexia and/ or bulimia.

- Also, I will not be eating fruits that I cannot peel myself. I haven’t been here because obviously that’s rule number one when in a third world country. However, strawberries are sheisty too.

- Third world countries have a very distinct (unpleasant) smell. It makes me nauseous. I better suck it up for the next eleven days. Note to self for the future: nose plugs, smelling salts.

- What about milk. I haven’t found any here. But im not sure if that’s a shady thing. Ive seen the cows here. They are scrawny and drinking mud water. I haven’t seen blue water since I got here. I hope that’s because its rainy season.
