Day 6, Wednesday, Recovering, Arguing

Returned to GK Vale to print my photo. The same lady who was working there yesterday there was on staff today, so it was nice to see a familiar face. Her name was something like "Somja ". Upon seeing my neatly arranged six photos, she wanted to charge me Rs 40 instead of Rs 5. I disputed things, claiming that I just had a simple 4x6 photo and wanted to print it on photo paper. It was the price they advertised on their website. She referred me to her boss, who said he would permit it as an exception. I handed over the 5 rupee coin and I am scheduled to pick it up tomorrow.

New foods today included a 1kg bag of Quaker Oats, some bananas, and some imported oranges. Everyone says pealable fruits are okay. I ate three bananas without an upset stomach. I spent over Rs. 200 today, so I may not get much tomorrow. I'll try to get some cinnamon soon.

My sore throat is almost entirely healed; I've been doing a good job of fighting it off. I suppose I attribute this to slightly different strains of relatively harmless viruses in the area. My body is probably just learning to deal with them.
