unbibiumThey keep giving me female roommates. And me with this damned cold! Drat, I say.
Not being allowed in my room until 2:00, or to sleep in the lobby, I endeavored on lunch. Some bum asked me if I spoke English and then for change in quick succession; considering that any coins I pulled out of my pocket could be worth up to $2 apiece, I chose instead to advise her to follow me to the Burger King and turn in a job application. This practical American business advice did not go down well with her.
Yes, the Burger King. I was sick and not up to exploring. But I was lured into an Indian restaurant on the way by a tourist menu for under E10 that had chicken soup in it. I then noticed the printed menu had that formula for exactly E10. But the waiter would not let me order it, for even though it was only 13:00, they were out of naan bread ingredients or something, so I had to order something more expensive. I figure even a Whopper with cheese would be better for the soul than letting myself get fleeced here. Turns out I was wrong; a Whopper without cheese sufficed perfectly.
Slept a lot when I got back, feeling a little better, but I'm going to get as much sleep as I can tonight so I can see something outside this neighborhood tomorrow....
