The first time i woke up early enough to sit and eat breakfast on a week day!



Usually I hop out of the shower, quickly get ready for work, run down the granite stair case, (crazy with no shoes and wet feet, we have to carry them in asia) leap into the street without dying from any traffic jams. wave to my friend motorbike driver, say "hello" to the sandwich making lady, so she start making it before i get there. prepare the money as im walking towards her, grab the bread with my left hand and give the money with the right. turn on my heals, lift my leg over the back of the motorbike and drive away. Sometimes I dont even know how it could happen so fast. BUT the picture above is one day when I got ready early for work, got my bread, sat down at this street restaurant next to my apartment, and relaxed with enough time to take this picture. You can see my motorbike helmet to the right, the necessary chopsticks signaling im eating, or maybe still hungry, a typical side plate of greens, and CHILI CHILI red CHILI! There is always a little jar with chili for you. and Usually a some whole chili that you can cut with your spoon and mix into the food.
