Even money, success (by western standards) and the assistance of the Virtuoso champions do not guarantee happiness and fulfilment when traveling to places where we have to consider ourselves "not very adventurous eaters" or are confronted with a "tremendous amount of animal noise" which we find "comical".

I will have a good laugh with the Amandari team next week when returning there.

This post makes me remember the tale of the forrmer GM of Giessbach Hotel in Switzerland. It is located just beside a huge waterfall with the related very loud noise. No airconditioning in the room (we are in the third world ), a guest (from a nation I will not mention here for political correctness) once asked if it was not possible to switch off this waterfall (which he probably assumed was artificial) during the nighttime...... At least at Amandari they offered to collect the frogs - Aman at its best .
