Gati Thai

Tuesday, J came to the training center with me and hung out with me in
my office. At the end of the day we decided to go out for Thai food so
we had Abebe drop us off at Gati Thai, just north of Bole Road, across
from the UNHCR office. When we pulled in, it was about 5:30pm and the
place looked deserted; most people in Addis Ababa seem to eat around 7
or 9. Nevertheless, we were welcomed inside and took a table by the
window. The waiter took our order of egg rolls, green curry rice with
tofu, tom koh soup with shrimp, and a sweet noodle dish with beef, along
with a Pepsi and a St. George's beer. Soon after, a few others came to
the restaurant, and as we ate our huge meal at our leisure, the place
filled up. In the evening, Gati Thai keeps the room dimly lit with
candles on each table, so we enjoyed the ambiance. Around 7, we asked
for the bill and I asked the waiter if he could call a taxi for us.
