MAR 8, 13 .. CHIT CHAT
Yesterday .. for the first time since this site .. Dot Net .. was established in August of 2011 .. I was able to print in bold fashion and in a larger font size than heretofore had been possible.
So here-we-go-again .. looking good so far ! Do you agree that it is much more readable in bold and a larger size print ? I would appreciate any and all feedback !
In terms of my current plans here they are. I am now paid in my room here at MOTHERS GUEST HOUSE in Pondicherry through next Thursday March 14th. I may extend my stay further into March .. and I may not. Today the sun is blazingly hot and intense and the temperature is in the high 80s F say 88 F. My room here is NOT air conditioned but so far it has been fine with its overhead fan going strong.
I have not given any of you an idea of the value of money here. I went on-line into my bank account and here is what it looks like to this-point-in-time. I base this on the following five (5) ATM withdrawals.
India Rupees U.S. Dollar Cost
10,000 Rs $184.14
5,000 Rs $ 92.34
10,000 Rs $184.48
10,000 Rs $186.17
10,000 Rs $188.20
——————- —————–
45,000 Rs $835.33
So .. 1 U.S. Dollar = 53.87 India Rupees
In daily usage I figure .. 1 Dollar = 50 Rupees ..
Or 1 Rupee = 2 Cents ..
My Room Costs 400 Rupees per night or $8.00 ..
My Veggie Sandwich with Lemonade costs 80 Rupees or $1.60 ..
Well I think I will post you all a photo for interest .. maybe two ..
Below is a photo of my BELOVED CHICKEN SANDWICH ON A TOASTED FRENCH BAGUETTE ! If you want a to-die-for sandwich .. here one is let me tell you all !
And below is a photo of a Traditional South India Thali Lunch plate .. you have seen photos of this type of lunch in my Agra Cantt photos ! They are really special !
To-Die-For Good applies to both of the above lunch meals !
Much Joy .. Cap ..
It looks like I pulled-this-Post-off in good fashion !
