Photos: Burgers King, Barbie, Rubix Cube
Burgers King. Few more shots
I’m going to try to post some photos every day. These are a few shots I took recently. Above is a scene from Burgers King. I think my friend Eraj actually took this shot.

I had a shawarma in the past which I thought mediocre, but I had a chicken burger last night and it was delish. The place is only open in the evenings, like many joints in this healthy diet unfriendly town.

I also daresay that crayon is quite difficult to do anything decent with, though the kids are at an abstract stage of development. I personally find it hard to work with.
Rubix Cube water tower, Colombo 8 I think

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like 
Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from 
Wow Burger King has expanded. Time to drop by there.
Wow that tower is a slight improvement to architecture in Sri Lanka.

The rubix water tower is what supplies the National hospital. It’s pretty huge close up….As a kid I once climbed nearly to the top… great view, except when looking down… which is scary!
I’ve wanted to eat at that place for sometime. Couldn’t find a time. Should go there soon.
I once saw a 10x10x10 rubik’s cube being solved in less than 6 minutes on youtube. Couldn’t find that video now. Here’s a 7x7x7 cube solve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=232J2WMwHTg
