When eating Chinese food Khartoum style (or anywhere else)

When in a Chinese restaurant, you cannot just order a few dishes. You need to order as much as you can however many people there are. That's the rule of eating Chinese food. And a word of advice to my Western readers, don't order and eat it for yourself. Share. And you get more out of it. PS: I was so chuffed my Mandarin came in handy, all that months in Beijing totally paid off.

Murakami - 1Q84

Of all the quotes in Murakami's books, this has always always been my favourite.

The Indian Orient Express

India is superbly fascinating in every way. There's no way a three week journey into this land could do justice to what is really is.
