Chinese Birthday Cake

Hello again,

Well, I was not meant to stay in the hotel tonight..we ended up going back to Clark Quay, an areas we had been to before. Charna and I tasked young Kinsel with finding us some dinner - he came up with a couple of options, and we decided on Italian. While it was hot and steamy outside, it was not raining. When we went back to the taxi stand, there was a cab right there waiting and no line. Can't ask for more - and we got a nice cabbie.

Tonight at dinner, there was a group celebrating an event - what we later found out was a birthday. I t was a group of Chinese people - I recognized a few words Nan had taught us. Nothing fancy - hello and thank you. But it com firmed they were indeed Chinese. Anyway, the birthday girl shared her cake with us - all of a sudden, she brought three pieces of cake over to our table and said these were for us. We thanked her and wished her a happy birthday. One could consider it our daily contribution to managing Cardinal's SGA expense - we did not get dessert tonight because it was given to us for free!

We are back to the hotel safe and sound..and ready for bed, at least in room 737. Watching a little English Premier League Soccer, settling down. Hope everyone has a great weekend. ~Nicole
