How many children do you have?

Many times we have been asked how many children do you have?
Sometimes they just ask how many boys?
 So what is the answer?
 They are impressed when I point to Carol and hold up 6 fingers.
 I then have to say how many boys so I hold up 4 fingers.
We have seen some very old family palnning posters.
They generally come from large fanilies but have very small families.

Dinner Disaster

We failed miserably tonight at ordering dinner.
 Yes we wanted GA chicken , COM rice and vegetables. So no rice arrived we got half a chicken each shallow fried and some vegetables. It was totally our fault, we went to a place that didn't have any english or photos. I tried to use the Only Lanet Phrase book which is very ordinary in so many ways and in son many aspects. The chicken was a new experience for me as I couldn't manage to strip the flesh from the bones. I did give a lot of it to the lovely dog under our table.   Beer was even hard to order. We did however manage to get a taxi and shared a couple of shots of a very strong clear alcohol with the mnen at the table next to ours.
