It's different eating out here

We went out to dinner with a group of friends the other night, and I thought about how different it was from eating out in America. 

      -The restaurant was called "The Ice Cream Parlor", but no ice cream is sold there.
      -There is only outdoor seating.  Very few restaurants here have any indoor seating.
      -There was about 8 children there, and they spent most of the time running around barefoot in the paved courtyard that we were eating in.  This was not a concern to the owners, or other guests.
      -Dinner took 2 hours to be prepared, which is normal here. 
      -The power went out during dinner, and no one seemed bothered.  The generator was started, and a few minutes later the power came back on.
      -The restaurant is next to a Hindu temple, so our dinner was serenaded by the ringing of bells and Hindi chants.  It was very beautiful.
      -There is a sink in the courtyard, so you can wash your hands before dinner.


Yes, things here are different.  And much slower.
                                                    
         Which I like.
