After a few months of silence, I am back with another episode… basically catching you guys up on what I’ve been up to since the last episode. I talk about my job, Adrian’s visit to Japan, my new hobbies, work life balance, and more. Sorry for yet another big gap in podcasting, but I am … More #90: Transitioning to Tokyo Life
I was going to run right after I woke up at 6:45, but it was pouring out so I stayed in. Around 7:30, the rain had stopped so I decided to go out for a short jog. I ran through the nearby village in Hatton and then came back to the guesthouse, Niwasa House, at … More 7/17/18: Boring Biryani
We weren’t sure what to do once we were awake. Do we stay in Nallathaniya and see if we can do the hike to Adam’s Peak, or go back to Hatton so that our trip back to Colombo on the 17th is a bit shorter? The weather wasn’t looking any better, so we asked the … More 7/16/18: Adam’s Peak Fail
My alarm went of at 6:15 so I could do my long run before we had to leave for the train to Hatton. The first couple miles were uneventful, though they were all uphill and quite tiring. About 2.5 miles in, a small dog suddenly started sprinting towards me. I yelled, “hey!” many times, but … More 7/15/18: Smuggling Beer
We had to wake up at 8, as this was the time we told the hotel owner we wanted breakfast. We were a bit hungover and very tired. We’d only slept about 5 hours. The breakfast was HUGE. I really can’t tell if breakfasts here are always this big, if they’re feeding us because they … More 7/13/18: Hiking, Walking, Eating (A Lot)
We woke up at 8:30, purely for the reason of grabbing the free hostel breakfast before it ended at 9. We ate some toast, bananas, and random Sri Lankan baked goods. There was one muffin that Adrian liked so much that he had about 5 more. At 11:30, we got a tuk tuk to the … More 7/12/18: Beautiful Ella
Our free hostel at Hi Lanka breakfast included toast with jam, bananas, plus my own almond butter. Hostel breakfasts are always the same. We wanted to go to Pedro Tea Plantation, but it was raining so much that we ended up just hanging out in bed until noon. At that point we were hungry, so … More 7/11/18: Wait, Slovenia Isn’t Slovakia?
We had breakfast at the hostel and then walked over to the train station around 7:40. We had to buy tickets for the 8:45 train to Nuwara Eliya. When we got to the station, there was a huge line pouring out of the station and into the street. I went inside to make sure there … More 7/10/18: Freezing In July (Sri Lanka)
We took our took our time leaving Kandy. Around 9, we picked up breakfast down the street— just some laddu and triangle roti from a nearby corner store. The guesthouse owner gave us free ginger tea and mangosteen, how sweet! Once we were checked out, we walked 10 minutes to the bus stop. Just as … More 7/7/18: Bad Mood (Matale, Sri Lanka)
