Curious Son

Jessica flew home to Hong Kong, so today was my first day going out into the city on my own. Seeing that I had an agenda of apartment hunting only at one community, it doesn't leave much time to go out and do other things...

The day started off with a delicious breakfast from Cafe 85*C. It was the same staff as the day before. Jessica had always ordered our drinks, so the staff had a slight face of confusion when I approached them. I ordered my usual drink (in Mandarin), and a sign of relief came across the barista's face. hahaha He continued to ask where "your lady friend was" and I responded that she had returned home. While I was waiting for my coffee, a mother and son (age 6-ish) were standing beside me during my conversion with the barista. The son asked the mom why a foreigner was in the Cafe and why he spoke Chinese. The mother said that he listens well, and at that point I looked over at them. The mother smile and said to her son, "See! He understands." The son was ecstatic. He began questioning me faster than a rapper after 2 cans of Redbull! hahaha He asked me why my hair was brown, how was it standing up, and if he could touch it. A fun day indeed!

I'm on my way out now to view apartments. Hopefully when I come back, I'll actually have a place to live!

Until next time,
T.E.T.
