March 3: Three chilies hot


Another new experience: I ride the GO commuter train for the first time. So simple! Why have I not done this in the past? I continue to revel in my carlessness.

All day is spent in ADRA Canada's board meeting. My brain is doing somersaults trying to comprehend all the budget numbers. Why am I here? I finally find a niche where I can contribute. I see the proposed development projects through the eyes of a humanitarian worker.


My train ride back to Toronto is accompanied by two young women giddy with excitement. They are heading to see Lady Gaga. The glitterati is passing through--Sir Elton John last night and Lady Gaga tonight.


I drop off my bags and head straight for dinner with my fellow gourmands, consuming everything on Khao San Road’s menu. I opt for the rare (sans fish sauce and shrimp paste) Thai vegetarian curry, loaded with tofu and squash, “Thai” medium heat--another yummy meal surrounded by fascinating people.
