YAY I am leaving - top 10 pointlessness at the work place:

Dear all,

After a long time I writing a blog again, I thought it was about time. Actually I have to celebrate something hence this blog. And what may it be that I am celebrating, well dear readers I LEFT SRI LANKA there I said it.

Ok I have worked in many countries but never ever did I work in a environment that was so pointless. Now now I hear you thinking how can I say this well I just did and it is mine point of view that this is a pointless place. Well here are mine top 10 pointlessness at the work place: 

1. People always have to prove a point.
2. Say things like "Do you know who I am" or "I do know your boss"
3. A guest calls one of the company directors who is abroad at that time, to say there is only one person to help him in the bar while my staff where outside to assist other guests.
4. Never take any accountability, just look at some one else and say it was you right.
5. People love writing emails with pictures and send it to god know every body just to create a issue while there is non. HELLO people just open your freaking mouth and speak with each other to solve the problem, no need for emails. 
6. Just shooting at lower ranking staff to make them self more important 
7. O yes a good one: let's staff bring up the laptop bag from the car to the office and vs. as you are to important to do it your self and than complaining when you have to wait for your laptop to arrive. 
8. Pretending that you know some one by dropping names while you only saw them in a elevator for lest than 1 minute.
9. Thinking that your country is the middle of the universe.
10. Adult men who are complaining to your boss if they do not get what they want, this is the norm here as you can get some free bees aka discount.

But than again I have met some amazing people here as well and people with a passion and kind hearts and just love their job. Also I have made some very good friends that I will treasure for the rest of mine life and whom made my time here in Sri Lanka memorable in a good way.

Food and more Food

WOW a post that I never published I wrote this post in 2011 and actually made me hungry and got really nice memories when I read it again so worth to post it definitely.... and yes if the place is bad now it was not in 2011

I had a great discussion recently about one of my favorite topic and that is food, food is one of the topics that everybody has a opinion about and most of the time lots of great stories related to food...

So the topic was where can you have great food here in Male and now that is very subjective what I think is great food could be not true for others but after some discussions with various friends I came to a small but tested list of restaurants and hotas that I would recommend in a heartbeat.

O yes a small note before I mention any names I am not paid in any from (monetary or in kind) from those outlets.

So here it is Memo's recommend:

For locale good comfort food

1. Memorial Hota near IGMH - Food is good service is very good and they have a very good fish curry, Garudiya and Roshi and Rihakuru and disk. O yes when you are there for breakfast take the freshly baked sweets yum. The best thing is the service is fast and polite not like at other places here the waiters are actually good and all for a very good price.
2. Kavab Hota on the back of customs - and yes they are famous for the Kavab they are so so good and aswell as there food but u come here for the Kavab.
3. The fish market Hota on the first floor come here after midnight and avoid the ac area the non ac area is more fun good for midnight snacking

Then for some Restaurants and cafes

1. Sala Thai - They only place to eat Thai food yes it is pricy but the food and service is good and constantly good. No surprises just great Thai food and great service worth it.
2. Blue Bay - a new favorite nice location beside the artificial beach
