Of all the restaurants, in all the world....we go out again for Chinese

I can’t get over the irony of how the only restaurant João (my crazily-picky Brazilian boss) agrees to go to in all of Beira, a city with at least 10 really interesting and good Mozambican-cuisine-style restaurants that I can think of, is a mediocre Chinese place where he always gets the sweet-and-sour chicken. Bleeeeeeeeh. I will never cease to get a kick out of their elevator-style mood music, though—it’s a whole bunch of early 60s tunes from old Westerns and the Everly Brothers, played on wind pipes and Chinese zithers. Pure awesomeness.


I’m palpably close to finishing this ginormous curriculum. And very, very excited about it.

You complain about this every weekend. Get some new material dude! And stop being so racist against Chinese people, please.

But seriously, 10 good restaurants? You must have been a busy little food critic running around since I've been gone.

I kid because I know your pain, brother. I remember one month we counted 8 different times the volunteers ate there. And that's a 30 day month, people.

Hahahaha, so they used to go there when you came too, Jooj? Dude, that is some serious Care For Life Kanimambo's tradition right there.
