Oh, and the power’s back on.
So I just turned the tv on, and what do I see? Asterix & Obelix. I love that comic!
The first time I encountered Asterix & Obelix was my brother Tony’s bookshelf (Hi Tony!). He had oh, something like 30 of them. I loved them!
Never saw them in a bookstore. Looked. Nope.
Then the next time I encountered them, it was at a Vijatha Yapa bookstore in downtown Colombo – across from Majestic City. In Sinhalese. No English.
Boo hoo!!!!!
And I encountered them on television – an animated series – a couple of months ago. Which is the same thing I’m watching now.
I am SO not learning Sinhalese fast enough.
