A Tea Place has opened in Geneva. I don't think it will last. Or rather, I will be super pleasantly surprised when it lasts longer than I expect. What is it - 120 days of newness before a place moves into the next phase. I wonder how long it has been opened. And it is a bit on the pricey side. Still, maybe mom and I will make a foray there before it disappears.
So many lunch places and so little time. Well, not really time, inclination. Unless I m traveling, I don't really want to eat out at lunch time. Weird? Yup. There are at least three places that serve only during the day here. All places I haven't been yet. Sigh.
Yesterday, the big excitement was a trip to Ling Ling Chinese buffet with my mom and Mary Gerhart. It is sort of a tradition. Mom and Mary used to go there about once a month. And mom would usually want to take me when I was in town. Just to see me speak Chinese with the servers. (And eat Chinese food) For some reason, mom is proud of my natural linguistic ability. Anyway, last night, I once again chatted with some of the servers in Chinese. One of them asked me to be her teacher - this is a typical Chinese thing to do. We shall see if anything comes of it. I don't know if she just wants me to talk to her in English, or if she actually wants me to teach her. And I don't know if she expects this for free, for exchange of services (she helps me with Chinese, I help her with English) or if she will be excited to throw wads of cash my way...
Today, more errands. Hurrah!
