I was trying to visit Arthur C Clarke, back in 1980. I had it on good advice that he was living in Galle, a city on the south coast of Sri Lanka, and I happened to be in the neighbourhood.
Owing to some difficulties of language, bad timing and all, I was unable to do so, but at the time he was one of my favourite authors.
During this trip, I tought my Sri Lankan friend how to make an egg mcmuffin at home. I was missing western food after 3 months, and they had all the ingredients so, for one meal at least we eschewed lentils, curry and rice, and had egg on an english muffin with cheese and ham. In the same city that Arthur C. Clarke lived.
