Lots and lots of curry

I have, fortunately, found cheaper ways to eat. At work we order rice and curry packages, which are very big, for 100 rupees (67 eurocents). These are delicious, but for one like me, who is not experienced in the ways of the spice, it is like having an explosion in your mouth. Fortunately not all the curries in it (it's a medley) are spicy so I can strategically take 2 mouthfuls of hot followed by a good 5 of mild. Today I ate spicy for breakfast, lunch and dinner so by Sunday I may just be very resistant to curry. I am also eating "roti". Rotis are like a kebab but instead, of a wrap it's like a triangular savoury pancake with either fish, vegetables or egg inside(costs about 30 rupees-17 cents!). It's very greasy and not healthy and all, so because I am a healthy eater I had 6 of them for dinner last night in true Rorinator fashion. There are also egg hoppas which are great and fairly self explanatory, as well as milk rice and something I discovered tonight, kothu roti. It was very spicy but superb. It is a mix of vegetables, chicken in my case, onions and chopped roti bread.
I went for a run yesterday and wha started out as a lovely coastline run turned into a rather unpleasant expeeience. The main road veered inland a bit and I found myself running on the side of the road, desperately trying to dodge the incredibly wild Sri Lankan drivers, which will literally come at you from anywhere. While there were some very friendly people there was also the occasional death stare from an angry looking 10 year old, and after about 20 perilous minutes I turned back.
Today I went to Unawatuna and visited a massive peace pagoda made by the Japanese after the 2004 tsunami. I also got the fright of my life when, wearing flip flops, I very nearly stepped on a monitor lizard. I hadn't realised these things lived here, and because it was a good meter in length I literally thought I was stepping on a komodo dragon. The komodo is actually a species of monitor but fortunately this one was harmless and, sadly, gone by the time I went to get my camera. I also had a lot of trouble getting pictures of the prolific(and sometimes pretty big) monkeys that live in the trees around the Adopt Sri Lanka office. I think they knew I was trying to get a picture and did not want to comply.
