Cake research
Kuko-reserĉado
This an attempt to order a Thai-Esperanto cake at one bakery by phone from its sister bakery.
Tio estas klopodo mendi tajan-esperantan kukon ĉe bakejo per telefono el ĝia fratina bakejo.
We gave up trying to explain the cake over the phone and took a cab to the other bakery.
Ni rezignis klopodi klarigi la kukon per telefono kaj prenis taksion al la alia bakejo.

In the mountains Olof were approached by some monks, who wanted him to teach them English. Their English was not good enough for Olof to explain that they should learn Esperanto instead.
En la montaro Olof estis alirita de monaĥoj, kiuj volis lerni la anglan. Ilian anglan ne estis sufiĉe bone por ke Olof klarigu ke ili devus lerni Esperanton anstataŭ.

Daniel in front of Florida Hotel, where La Loko is staying. Why are hotels so often called another place than where they are?
A 12 hour trip makes you hungry. La Loko finds that Thai food has great restorative potential.
La Loko has its temporary Bangkok headquarter at Plan B.
By a productive mistreatment of the Thai and English language, Daniel sees to that we yet again are fed.
Good food. Good friends. Good times.
