Eating at the Cradle of Civilization with a Stranger from Malaysia
Update: 2006-07-22
Description

Because we spend approximately a fourth of our lifetime eating, Miles and Cara consume baklava and a veggie curry sampler with names ridiculously impossible to pronounce at Ziggurat on the corner of Tigris and Euphrates streets in Makati. We are so not kidding!
We don't know if they named the restaurant Ziggurat because of it's location, or if they renamed the streets so that the restaurant would be "cradled", or if they built the streets around the restaurant. This is the Philippines after all. Your money (especially OPEC currencies like Dinars) will do miracles of religious proportions.
While a Malaysian TV crew films a travel special at Ziggurat , Miles and Cara contribute to the challenges of the TV sound guy by talking and laughing really loud, and interviewing one of the Malaysian guys approximately two feet away from the camera crew.
Ozzry (above), is from Malaysia who goes to uni in Sydney. He's on holiday and seems to be enjoying the touristy fare of Embassy and Prince of Jaipur. Nothing much is known about Ozzry except that this is not the real spelling of his name, he's painfully cute, and that he likes to photograph things.
We assume he doesn't have much friends because he's not used to shout outs. Or, he's so highly educated and wealthy that he has his scribe write his greetings on parchment and has these sent via homing pigeons.
We're kidding and you're a good sport, Oz.
Miles uses big words he could barely handle like prevalent and partake, and fails miserably in using the word aerodynamic. Cara is so enthused by the Med dessert called Baklava. You know why.
"The Nana Song" is another original by Miles, and can be downloaded at www.myspace.com/milessanchez
