The restaurant was quite ordinary, and so was most of the menu. But there was one entry in the middle of a bunch of others which caught my eye: Rice with sliced children, tomato sauce. I called the waiter over and tried to order it, and he explained that it was a misprint; it was supposed to read "chicken" instead of "children". I acted terribly disappointed, and the waiter became very apologetic. This was the same restaurant in Darjeeling that was frequently out of tea. On the road up to Darjeeling, there were all sorts of interesting billboards. On the approach to a narrow bridge, there was one proclaiming "Watch your Vechicles".
