This post is for my dear friend Jill Dexter, and for Joey Tribiani.
You may have picked up on the fact that we ate a lot of soup in Asia.
More often than not, we ate noodle soup. We ate soup with ramen noodles, rice noodles, egg noodles. Thin noodles, thick noodles. Flat noodles, round noodles. Occasionally rice, not noodles. And sometimes nooples.
Noodles with chicken, Noodles with pork. Noodles with pork belly. Noodles with beef. Noodles with mystery meat that we hope was beef. Noodles with dumplings.
In 40 days, we had 33 bowls of soup - each. On 11 days, we had no soup, meaning some days we had multiple soups. One day, we had 3 soups. The majority of days (65% of them), we had only one meal of soup.
We had soup we helped make, and soup we rather wished we couldn't see being made.
We had soup for dinner 8 times, soup for lunch 19 times, and soup for breakfast 5 times. We even had soup for an afternoon snack once.
On leaving Asia we thought, "Won't it be nice to have something other than soup?" Then we got to Sydney, we were looking for quick and easy lunch, and before we knew it we looked at each other and said, 'Isn't there some place we can just grab some soup?!"

Mmmmmm...soup!! Love it!
FYI - I noticed you are doing a lot of bike riding on your travels. I feel I am partly responsible for this, given our adventure in Paris! xoxo.
