The Travel Bug


Bumblebee on traveller’s cap

Meg and Halik have been tweeting about what a bummer it is coming back from travel. Weird, but lately I feel the same way. It could have been the 10 hour journey and the two bottles of sickly nunnery wine we consumed, but I was dead that night and the next day. When I get back from various places I feel tired, sick, and stuck. Perhaps the travel thing is an addiction, that constant stimulation, the new. I settle into Colombo after a while, but right now I’d rather be on the move.

Back in Colombo it’s just a bunch of messed up paperwork, bills, phone calls. When travelling your basic pre-occupations are finding food and exploring. Things are somehow more dreadfully important  and perceptually mundane back in the city. The reason I live here, of course, is the people, so perhaps I should go see them.

n: You should probably look a bit closer and see how the majority of people living and working in Colombo get to and from work, not a Corolla or EVEN a Mini Cooper.

N: You have to eat a whole load of beans…the n you can be gassy like Omr.

the way of the dodo: nonsense, 100g of spinach has 2.2g of protien 100g of beans will give you 10gs of protien. you need 70gs a day. fish or chicken generally has around 35g of protein per 100g. http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/S pinach#Nutritio n...

Omr: Nope. Beans and/or spinach give you more than enough. You are just desperate to find an excuse to eat meat because you like the taste and it is an established tradition. No problem, continue on eating meat, just admit you are an absolute...

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
