What just happened ? The CARE Driver took me to lunch. He doesnt speak English but that hasnt mattered up until this point. All I wanted was some western food But I knew that probably wasnt going to happen unless we passed the European restaurant that I laughed at on the first day. Yesterdays restaurant that he dropped me to was as local as you can get. Thankgod there was a fried rice option on the menu because that was the only option I could have had there. After looking at the state of the menu I feared my health and well being. But I went with it. It would be the drivers choice. We pulled up outside a local restaurant that was busy so that was a good sign. I went in. Ordered an omelette with veg which I thought was a veg omelette. It wasnt. It was everything but. A few dishes started coming out and being put in front of me. And then a few more and the more At first it was funny but then I became concerned because they just kept coming. I was surrounded by 12 dishes and a big bowl of rice - still no sign of an omelette. I spotted 2 old guys on a table opposite talking about me looking and smiling. They must have known what was about to happen. So I decided to go with it and pour what looked the safest into the rice eggplant and something else soup. The minute I poured it in The women came back and topped it back up to the top before I could tell her not to. Another 2 dishes came out and then A big pot of rice for refills. I began to eat. Then the omelette came - biggest fried omelette I have ever seen. The amusement turned into a state of alarm. I thought about how on my tours in nepal I tell people that leaving food is rude and look at this. I tried to signal to the waiter that it was a lot and I was only one person. He nodded and then moved away. I managed to finish the omelette and the eggplant and then had to flee the scene. Moral of the story: be careful of the and veg Lesson for me: Learn conversational Burmese ASAP!
