efficiency (and this coming from me)

chiang mai

i'm left wondering whether small thai guesthouses have just one frying pan in the back. no matter how simple your order, it will not be embarked upon - not even a slice taken out of a tomato - until everyone who ordered before you has been actually served.

what also sometimes happens is that the person taking your order will write each individual item on an a separate piece of paper:

sheet 1: watermelon juice
flip to sheet 2: cheese omlette
flip to sheet 3: toast
flip to sheet 4: bottle of water

this of course leaves me wondering, too. but i know there are some things that i am not meant to understand.
