We tried to get take out food one night last week. We had forgotten to
get something out of the freezer in time to thaw for supper. Not a
problem. Call for take-out and help to keep the local restaurants in
business. The two in out little village had phone messages saying they
had decided to close, I then tried the "downtown" restaurants. They
were closed. I finally got a message that said they were open and busy
so leave a message and they would call back. They called back about 5
minutes later and thanked me for the call.... but they closed on
Tuesdays, and it was Tuesday.


There is a Vietnamese and a Thai restaurant in town, but I was not
prepared to try to order by phone. There are serious language barriers
in both places. They seem to have convinced themselves that they speak
English, but it is extremely hard to make yourself understood, and even
harder to understand them. If it's that bad in person I am not ready to
try to order over the phone.

I don't think I have ever been hungry enough that a McDonalds burger
sounded good.
