"Downtown in the old city was the best place to eat. If you looked around and found a "local" place you
could get "almerzo", which is a set meal of the day (soup, main course, drink, and dessert) for as little as
$.80. The bad news was that it always included white sticky rice and some very chewy meat which was
sometimes hard to identify. But it filled you up and was cheap so I partook.
