I've been working on a few different projects here at GXM. Today they had me record my voice for a small Channel V identification ad they are putting together. I don't know if they will use my voice, but if they do - that'll be kind of cool.

This evening I just took it easy and had a good old western style meal. It was a chicken sandwich and fries from Nando's. It was a great meal.

The thing that I find most different about the Western meals here vs. what I'm used to back home is that here they kind of skimp on the fries. I ordered a second Chicken burger (I probably wouldn't back home but I figure I need to eat as much as I can while the food is so inexpensive) and to my surprise the second plate had even less fries than the first. Also they were slightly undercooked.

Even at McDonald's, famous world-wide for its french fries, they seem to skimp on the deep fried side order. I have begun upsizing my orders and still only get about the same amount of fries that I would if I ordered a regular sized fries back home.

I guess it's obvious but the fact that back in North America they serve more fries on the side must be one of the reasons why there are so many overweight people there.

Not exactly an earth-shattering observation, but anyway that was my day.
