Quote of the day

AKA "How to know your wife loves you"
"This soup is disgusting. You can have as much as you want."
Gee, thanks honey, that kind of endorsement is really inspiring. It's also really kind of you to let me bond with the kids by allowing me to change their diapers.

Okay, about the hospital. It really is quite functional, as much as I like to complain about the food. There is plenty of space and the nurses are incredibly responsive. In fact, we were considering staying here the whole time, but decided to move to the Marriott on Friday. There is something quite comforting about having everyone around. The service is excellent. Oh, bring your own soap and shampoo; they're not provided. I can't quite figure out the cost, but it's definitely less than the hotels nearby.

In terms of eating, there are plenty of restaurants around, and we took a tuk tuk over to the Rodas hotel (which is gorgeous, at least from the outside) and had lunch at the Pan Asian restaurant, which was quite good. We thought we were quite the bargainers when we bargained the tuk tuk driver from 200 rupees down to 50 rupees, until the way back, when the driver offered us a ride for 10 rupees. Oops. It's a short walk, but you are putting your life at risk by trying to cross the street.
