Thanks to Iggy, i found more of what this tiny country has to offer. COL BAR. @Wessex Estate, Portsdown Road, off AYE Expressway. A far cry from the air-conditioned, characterless food courts have to offer. a step into the coffeeshop is lek a step back into the past. we find remnants of the colonial period peeling off the wall - posters of "Bradford - A Metropolitan City" &pictures the Queen's Horse Guards. owners have done little to do up the place, and i think that adds to the charm.

business was quiet on a saturday afternoon. a couple of expat kids bitching around after their football game, a mainland chinese family lunching and an indian motorbike rider who dropped in for a pack of cigarettes was all there was. i had the best nasi goreng ever! ak thoroughly enjoyed his teh-o, after his bacon and omelette. in a food court, we finish the food and leave. but here, we sat around for an hour or so.. just chilling and watching some archers at the field missing their bullseye.

got home with a couple of mosquito bites. but that's not stopping me from going back there again.
