I almost didn\u2019t do anything too much interesting today. And also I\u2019m getting a bit worn out by what my friend Amnon calls \u201cwriting diarrhea\u201d. It\u2019s more like constipation now, as it doesn\u2019t come out easily and fluently but rather hard and I have to force it out…
\nI ate dinner with only Nelson. We got out of the office and didn\u2019t know where to go. In one of the earlier days I saw that they have branches of one of the American food restaurant chains called \u201cTGI Friday\u201d. I havn\u2019t ate there (in the states) for over 5 years now, so even tough it\u2019s good ol\u2019 American food, and not the Chinese food that I\u2019m suppose to try every kind of, I convinced Nelson to go there. He lived in the states for I think 15 years, but havn\u2019t ate at \u201cTGI Friday\u201d so much too, so he didn\u2019t mind. When I suggested it to him and Sterling a few days before, Sterling really didn\u2019t want to go eat there…
\nWhen we got really close to the restaurant, (which is near the SOGO store I was in day 2 with Bob and Idan), we realized that there\u2019s actually a lot of restaurants in the area and we don\u2019t have to go to TGI Friday\u2019s if he prefers something else. I got the chance to try something new again. It\u2019s something he calls a \u201cCurry\u201d restaurant. Even though Curry is more Indian, this is a Japanese style restaurant. Taiwan is influenced greatly by Japanese. Basically all the dishes are the same. You get a combo meal, with salad, soup, and large plate of rice, with Curry sauce. The only difference between the dishes is what\u2019s cooked in the sauce. Chicken, beef, pork, seafood, vegetables, etc. You\u2019re supposed to choose how spicy you like your curry, on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is not spicy, and well… 5. I asked him what level were those spicy noodles from the other day, he said something about 3 to 4. I ordered 2. I didn\u2019t want to get my stomach upset again. I didn\u2019t help. Level 2 was actually as hot as those spicy noodles and they didn\u2019t make me feel that good. Luckily the sauce and rice come separate so you can put only a little sauce and a lot of rice and it\u2019s almost not as bad. Nelson took no. 3, and it was way to spicy for him, he was actually sweating. He told me that they got an impression from Idan that I could even eat the no. 5 thing. Idan can\u2019t eat anything spicy at all. Too spicy for him in that restaurant would be something like -78. Whenever they took him for dinner and ordered something a bit spicy, he couldn\u2019t eat it, but told them Oded would probably eat it and probably even more. He was telling them I can actually drink raw tobasco!
\nThere was a time I could. I would eat \u201cSchug\u201d with a spoon, and eat pizza with 1\/2 bottle tobasco in each slice. That was about 10 years ago. I can still eat, and still like spicy foods, but my stomach doesn\u2019t. I even got doctor\u2019s orders not to eat anything spicy or I\u2019d get nauseated. I tent to listen to my doctor, and thus thing that were once not spicy to me, are now making my stomach even more upset, just because I\u2019m not used to it anymore…<\/p>\n
