Day at the Dentist
... came down twice with rice and sanbar.
We went for the second night in a row to a restaurant called The Woodlands. This is a chain restaurant, but the original is here in Udupi, and this is where the dosa was originated.

... on the immorality of the West and morality of the East! Argh, what bloody hypocrit! I had such a sour taste in my mouth after this, it was really horrid. I really needed a good female friend to tell all this to and who would support me, but alas that is one thing I don't have here.
