Day 20 Thu 01/8  - We are Leaving Leh Tomorrow with the HPTDC Bus
Today spend : Rs 3760    Total spend : Rs 19949

Today is our last day here in Leh after spending close to a week in this High Himalayan  Buddhist city,with lots of Tibetan cultures like Tibetan arts,foods,handicrafts etc. The problem we faced on these past one week is the very frequent intermittent power failures,and that affect the internet connection. But the locals were quick to correct our perception that the main reason is not the lack of power supply,but in fact too much of it that the old power cables were not able to withstand,that causes the overloading. Another setback is the lack of good foods here,I am really bored of the bread and the rice here as compared to our Malaysian foods. One thing i found out is better than Malaysia is the Tandoori Chicken here, is tastier and the meat is much tender as compared to our hang-up Tandoori, the price is quite reasonable Rs 160 for half chicken ( the actual size of it looks like a quarter with the wing missing). Tonight we invited our fellow cyclist from Poland Piotr Nogal who stayed the same guesthouse with us to join us for a home cook Malaysian dinner at the roof top, as i need to clear my foods. I have with me : a can of black bean fish 豆士魚,salted fish in oil,basmati rice and from Chee 2 packets of mushroom soup.To make it more delicious,we also bought 5 eggs,Onions,courier flower and green big chilli from the market.We had a great time to enjoy our best home cook dinner before we say good night as we need to sleep early as the bus is leaving at 5 am tomorrow morning.
