Where is the Buddhist love?

Sometimes finding vegetarian fare is hard. After avoiding one restaurant last night due to the lack of vego options, we went into another one with just a few more choices. We ordered chips and three salads, the only three on the list of 10 without meat in the ingredients. We were negligent vegetarians in that we didn't specifically ask, but still we were a bit irritated when they came out all filthified with prawns, tuna and scallops. And one was the garden salad. What kind of garden do these people have!?
So we ate our chips and went back to our room for a potato cup-a-soup which kicked arse.
There are only about 5 types of stores here. Tailors, massage places, rip off clothes and electronics stores, souvineer stores and tour operators. The tailors are the worst for sure (we avoided one area of our first resort for the entire week because the store owner kept asking us to come into his store). We were walking in the evening this week and went past a massage joint. The 5 or 6 women sitting around out the front all chorused 'massage' as we went past. We have resisted and not bought a tailored suit so far....
