Chai tea, ATM machine


Tea in India (well, in Mumbai) is brewed with condensed milk. You might think that ruins the flavour. It doesn't really, the fifteen or so tablespoons of sugar they put in it does.

While we're on the topic, India, I like spices, I really do. But must I have them with every meal?

Does India read your blog? Hey, did you hear that Matty Hayden got in trou-ble for referring to Harbhajan a 'noxious little weed' in an interview on Brisbane radio? Moral of the story: don't tell India that you're Australian!

Why not? From the Indian point of view, why would a world champion cricketer go around telling players from other nations that? It's just obnoxious.

Don't whatever you do take too much spice otherwise you'll get back here and won't be able to taste normal food. Yes i can just imagine sitting at the dinner table and you sitting there pouring a whole shaker of cinnamon onto you chicken wing...not nice.
More importantly have you got me a present yet??? And if not i hate o tell you but they have laws about bringing real elephants on qantas flights so there my plan gone:(
Enjoy the sugar and walk heaps to burn it off Juliaxox

Yes your elephant is on its way. The other day I found a place where I could eat a cheese sandwhich, was wonderful, just plain bread and cheese, no spices, nothing!
