About chai - when I was working with one of the government ministries last year (through this past April), we were frequently served chai in meetings with Iraqi government officials. I love the stuff, but I was the only female on my mission and I had to walk a fine line. It's rude to refuse the chai, so I never did, but the err...facilities in that building were not updated yet, so I had to make sure I didn't drink too much of it. I had to keep water intake at a minimum as well until I got back to base. I also did not drink coffee on the mornings I went over there which was VERY difficult for me. ;-)
I don’t care what this thread is about...Michael Phelps has the hottest body ever known...Slurp!
I am now fully dependent on morning coffee.
Thanks for the report from the front lines!
