Dänkblog: Salt Lake City, August 15, 2010
I'm in Salt Lake City for a few days on business and got to do some
touring yesterday. I started out at the State Capitol where there was a rally of evangelical xians singing Jesus songs. From there I wandered to Temple Square, and spent an hour or two photographing the Mor(m)on Temple, Tabernacle, and other religious monuments. By then it was getting dark and I got lost and was rushing to find an Indian restaurant that had gotten good reviews. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it and settled for a Tibetan restaurant where I good a decent beef curry with rice for $10. Today I plan to do some more touring this morning, and have lunch at the Indian restaurant, since I didn't come all this way to go home without partaking of my favorite meal of rogan josh served with naan and chai. Check out my photo album, still in the works: http://s929.photobucket.com/albums/a...a666/utah/slc/ |

SLC is one of those places that you can appreciate if you don't let the local beliefs bother you. BTW the photos of gang graffiti are wastes of bandwidth. If you're so fascinated with it, spend a few hours in East LA. |

It worked out in the end. The Tibetan meal was excellent, a delicious beef curry seasoned with onion, garlic, ginger, and just a bit of chile, fresh, hot, served with rice for only $10. The Indian restaurant was horrible; I asked the waiter to hold the cilantro because I didn't like it, at which point he could have mentioned that the particular dish was loaded with cilantro, but he seemed more interested in selling the dried-out goop remaining in the stew pot. BTW the photos of gang graffiti are wastes of bandwidth. If you're so fascinated with it, spend a few hours in East LA. I'm a big fan of graffiti, especially stickers. Having traveled across the world, the only places I rarely saw graffiti was Vietnam and Utah, both police states that suppress creativity and demand absolute conformity. Throughout history, the bourgeoisie have defined what art is, locking it up in palaces and museums that only they can afford to patronize. Graffiti is people's art, which is why the bourgeoisie have decreed it to be a crime. The graffiti I saw in Salt Lake City was the bright spot of my trip, evidence that there is life there, and that the Cult is not as all-powerful as it seems. |
