Hungry Ghosts & Hungry People

Tobi, Daniel and I went to Little India to buy garlic, onions and lemons (don't ask me why).

It is the (7th lunar) month of the Hungry Ghosts. During this month, the Festival of the Ghosts includes giving offerings and praying with the giant incense sticks....

..and Chinese Opera to entertain the Ghosts when they are on their One Month Roam Earth Free Pass.

He is rehearsing.

On with shopping...

No basil leaves, but free parsley. Tobi: yuck.

On to lunch.

Oops, I forgot to take pictures before we ate up the food.

This is Nepalese food.

Tobi didn't like the parsley in the chicken.

Order the mixed vegetables cooked Gurkha style.

I am not a Nepalese cuisine expert but the restaurant was cosy (and simple), food authentic and made me feel like eating it on some high mountain top.

Ouch

My first ankle sprain of the year.

In fact, the first in a few years; after the Rollerblading Sprain of 2000 and the Dark Cinema Sprain of 1997, I have been uber careful to a fault in avoiding ANY and ALL forms of sporting activity that involve travelling at high speeds without ground contact (with the exception of wakeboarding, which is another potential body-injuring activity).

This time, it was Numb Legs After Lunch Sprain, 2009. Health advice: cap the heels at 1.5 inches.
