Truth is stranger than fiction... but sometimes fiction is more fun. I went on a bike ride around the city this weekend and we stopped for sodas. Let's start with the fiction:
We stopped for sodas and Mike got a sprite like drink. As we all do he held up 1 finger to confirm that the price was indeed 1 thousand kyat. The store clerk sets another sprite on the table. Mike holds up his finger again. The clerk sets another. Mike repeats, the clerk repeats. Mike shakes his head in the negative and says "1000 kyat?" The clerk sets out a coke. "No, how much for the sprite?" The clerk sets out another coke. Mike sighs, pays for the lot and stays well hydrated for the remainder of the day.
The reality? Mike is just a real nice guy and bought all of us cold drinks. The thing is, when you have time on a hot day riding a bike, you have time to replay things in your head and well... make some fiction.
Thanks for the coke Mike.
