I STOP AT THIS TEA STAND SOME MORNINGS FOR TEA OR MAYBE BREAKFAST IF I AM CLOSE TO THE BIHARI CAMP.

THIS WAS A SHOT I COULDN’T RESIST AS WE PASSED PHILIPP’S RICKSHAW.  He should be enjoying Christmas with his family in Switzerland!

I COULDN’T RESIST SLIPPING THIS EXTRA BLOG SINCE I DO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS HERE IN OUR ROOM.

We went to this coffee since it had Wi-Fi!  That day it seemed to have a poor connection, but at least I could recharge my laptop battery!  So much for my skills at photography!  In the photo of me, my face is in focus.  In the photo of Alice her face is not in focus! Sorry, folks, maybe next time.

I DECIDED TO SEE THE EFFECT OF A PORTRAIT IN AN ELEVATOR THAT WAS WALLED WITH MIRRORS! I like the effect.

THIS IS A GREAT SPOT IF YOU LIKE PORTUGUESE PERI-PERI CHICKEN COOKED BY THIS SOUTH AFRICAN CHAIN RESTAURANT. IT IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!  Here is the menu in the UK: http://www.nandos.co.uk/themenu), which doesn’t differ much from the one I love in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

WE WENT TO OUR HOUSEHELPER’S BIHARI CAMP FOR THIS CELEBRATION.  BIHARIS ARE KNOWN AS GOOD COOKS!

With the new uploading method I haven’t figured out how to post for later dates, so I will post enough photos for the rest of the year for my 366 days posts! Hope to spend some vacation in Nepal from Friday until after the New Year!

ROSANNA’S ARTISTIC ABILITIES REPRESENTED HERE!  The ISO was at 640 so the exposure was only 1/20th of a sec.  I should have upped the ISO to get a sharper photo.  So it goes!
