This week I connected with a colleague after 3 years and we went to lunch at a local Thai joint that we used to love back then. Both ordered the same dishes as we did, and turns out in the 3 years hence his spice tolerance has increased two fold while mine has decreased five fold. I could barely eat the fried rice I ordered while he was gulping down his basil chicken by adding more spice. Anyway moral of the story is dont go to Thai restaurant with your colleagues.
