I’ve never experienced such auditory and visual assault as I have there. The busy visitor centre for a national park had a door that chimed when it opened, a little doodad that sung a tinny electronic song every thirty seconds, two televisions with different audio tracks playing about the various peaceful natural wonders you’re about to experience, a vending machine that had a little ditty it would chirp out, the toilet spoke to you, saying what I can only assume to be was “Hello! Thank you for choosing me to take care of you today! I hope you had a good shit! Have a good day!”.
Best is a hard tie between a burger from the Bleeker van in London, and pani puri (crunchy pockets filled with curry) from a handcart in Pokhara. Most recently was moo ping (grilled pork skewers) from a stall in Thakek. They weren’t very good which made me sad.
