Ok, slow computer

That is also expensive. 4 rupees an hour! Sri lankan, but anyway.

So this will be a quick post. I've checked out an elephant orphanage, seene elepahnts bathe, swim, and charge the concrete barrier behind which all the tourists were at. The damn barrier buckled too...

In 3 or so hours, I begin the climb to Adam's Peak, which is where either:
Adam first stood after being booted from the garden of eden
OR
Vishnu hung out for reasons unknown
OR
Buddha stood for the sunrise. Maybe.

Ib any event, it's meant to be quite spectacular at dawn, so I head up there at 2:30am. 5000 steps? Easy... and my travel companion (the ever-present Steve) has a camera! And I have a camera-memory card! It's like, photos a gogo. We checked out the path up earlier tonight, and found it to be surrounded by the most incredible amount of crap in the world. I'm talking fair-ground crap here... dolls, hats, glass things, I don't know, they make it, so we can throw it away?
It also has alot of Sri Lankan "toughs" - the young kids wandering around looking, well, tough. I don't know, kids these days. They warm up to you with a friendly "ayobovan" (hello in singalese) though.

And now, something for the Women of the World.

Women of the World! I've been watching tv, and have seen the power of the things you call "pads". Please, for the sake of the world, DO NOT LET THESE THINGS DROP INTO THE OCEAN! We need that water, ladies, and according to my research, your "pads" can soak up gallons at a time. It's crazy...
On a more serious not, I don't normally let people into my "billionaire in an arvo" ideas, but here it is: I'm going to make ships with an inside lining that is pure "pads". These puppies will be unsinkable! I know, the lives that could have been saved on the titanic if someone had had one back then.
Also, as a quick question to the Women of the World: when you and your girl friends gather round to discuss "pads" (I'm not going to ask WHY you do that, it sounds boring, but here I am writing about it, so there you go), why is one of you (the clumsy, stupid one) ALWAYS drinking a weird blue drink? Don't give her that blue drink, she just throws it all over the pad. And what is the blue drink anyway?

Surely a cranberry juice would be more appropriate?

Ok! Onwards to the top!
