So, I was going to tell you all about my amazing dinner tonight, but we got home and had an even better story to tell.  First, dinner.

It's a fancy modern restaurant, playing cosmopolitan music like the Black Eyed Peas, "My Humps," "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head," and MC Hammer's, "Can't Touch This."  So, we like giggling at their choice of music in this classy joint.  I can't remember the name of what I ordered, but it came, and it was magical.  I ate and ate until I thought I'd be sick.  It was supposed to be chicken and shrimp fried rice with chicken sate and some prawn something.  I wasn't sure what the prawn thing would be, but the rest of it sounded good enough, so I took a chance.

This is what was delivered to me for about $5.  It was all wonderfully palatable.  Those chip looking things to the left were the prawn things.  So, they were a sort of shrimp batter that had been deep fried.  It was really interesting.  I didn't hate it, but my mouth was confused for sure.  The rice tasted just like fried rice from home except it had that lasting bite that all south Indian food seems to have.  The fried egg was, well, a fried egg, and the chicken and peanut sauce were perfectly expected.  For dessert, I had chocolate mousse, and I wanted to cry it was so normal tasting. We've found that here, even if you order non-Indian food, it still tastes vaguely like Indian food.

These were Lauren's really yummy chicken enchiladas.  I've definitely had worse in the states.  Even though that's Mexican rice, it sure did taste like Indian rice.

So, we were super happy and warm, sitting in our restaurant.  Then, it started to pour, reminding us that it is monsoon season.  So, we got absolutely soaked, even with umbrellas, walking the half block from the restaurant.  The only problem with the rain here is that it makes all the nastiness that sits on the streets flow around your feet and through your sandals or shoes.  So, all the nasty animal (and people) poop that is in the streets gets run past your feet.  We were pretty grossed out by the time we made it to the room.  Once we got to the room, we found our bathroom like this...

In case you can't tell, that's about a half-inch of water all over our bathroom floor.  Since it rained so much, so fast, that the drain in our bathroom floor backed up sewage into our bathroom floor.  Nasty!  Our hotel dudes came and cleaned it, but I don't smell bleach, so we're about to go after it with some hand sanitizer.  I've cleaned much worse at camp, but I always had the aid of bleach.  We may have to take a trip to the store to find some!
