Wat eten we op LinkedIn

Hoe LinkedIn steeds meer gaat lijken op Facebook.

Deze morgen las ik een bijdrage van een mevrouw die met onbenulligheden zo actief is op LinkedIn dat je je afvraagt wanneer ze ooit bezig is met het genereren van een inkomen. Gedrag dat we inmiddels al meer dan een decennium zien op Facebook.

Met “Wat eet jij ‘s morgens als ontbijt?” sloot ze af na een gedetailleerd verhaal over hoe zij zichzelf motiveert met ochtendvoedsel.

Ik kon de drang niet weerstaan om vanuit een veganistisch perspectief—dat is in en doet het goed—een kleine bijdrage te leveren.

Ik eet de hele dag bonen. Nee geen koffiebonen. Van die lekkere witte, bruine en kievitsbonen. Met bonen op en met bonen naar bed. Sperzieboontjes groen, wasboontjes geel en ook nog wel eens paars. Groen en geel. Of was het geel en groen en paars van de …
Nou nee … Gewoon bonen. Zelf gedopt. Bonen zitten een gebed niet in de weg. Zonder einde. Dat wel.

Niemand reageerde en public.
Tsja…

Noodle Soup Restaurant LC

Delicious soup for a fair price

One of those days it was that I had decided to walk down town. Walking keeps you in shape. Everybody knows that. And so does using a bicycle instead of a motorbike. I do both. I walk and I cycle.

Moving slowly also has it advantages. One sees everything and discovers a lot. My favourite way of getting to know and becoming familiar with a new town. New for me that is.
As I was walking along on and off the pavement, as cars are parked wherever the driver thinks it’s okay, I spotted a new restaurant. Noodle Soup Restaurant LC
30,000 Kip any bowl of soup. Hey! That’s not bad at all!
I peeked inside. Everything looked clean and well organised.

Trying it out

Let’s give it a try I thought as I felt a bit hungry. There is Chinese noodle soup with beef, pork, chicken, a fried egg, or even a Vietnamese style noodle soup. I decided on the fried egg one. It comes with a little bit of pork on the bone as well.

Friendly service

Your soup is served fast and in a friendly manner. And if ever they have run out of some of the ingredients they will quickly walk to the nearby market to buy some.
You will never have to wait long for a delicious noodle soup coming your way.
The owner on the left and her assistant cannot speak English. They can speak some Chinese, do understand Thai, and are of course fluent in Laotian.

Location

Noodle Soup Restaurant LC

The name shown is the name of a restaurant that was there before.
Noodle Soup Restaurant LC is a new restaurant at the same location.

So sad!!!! It's closed for business.

The Shopping Cart Serenade

A contemporary saga of insanity and homelessness meandering towards an understanding of the human condition. An understanding which

Brendan Shusterman teaches English at Assumption College in Bangrak district, Bangkok, Thailand.
