    Temple of the Buddha's Tooth. Nice.

    I ate a chinese meal in Kandy once. That was an odd experience.

    No, it's just the way these trousers bunch up.

    I have an entirely irrational dislike of the phrase 'Botanical Gardens'. I think it's because my folks took me to the one in Dublin when I was little and I'd got it into my head that it was basically a zoo. When I got there, no tigers, no gorillas, not even a reptile house. Just fúcking plants!

    I kicked off.

    I was thinking 'Well it was rather warm', but that's equally good.

    I'm guessing the one in Dublin wouldn't measure up to the one in Kandy, b.

    But yes, just plants and trees...

    At least out there I suppose there's a chance a tiger or a monkey or something might at least wander in and alleviate the floral tedium.

    Also in Kandy I wandered into the grounds of an Anglican church and encountered the chap who looks after the graves of our brave colonial administrators, many gathered unto God at a young age. Now this chap performs sterling work tendin the cemetary, speaks excellent English and was delighted to show us around and let us look into the burial record books and so on. He even made us tea. What was mildly disconcerting was that he was about 108 years old, had o9ne single tooth in his head, and wore nothing but a dhoti. It was like talking to an incredibly ancient baby.

    There will always be a few fighting monkeys rolling around the floor there

    A bit like Temple Bar, really
