A Dinner Experience

4 of us go for an adventure into Manjitan for dinner, and we want something different, off we go down a dirty ally. Ha. Well the first ally was just too dirty so we take the second ally, much more up to par for us. And at the end of the street ally, we are invited into this family restaurant by a women. So in we go, first do they have menus, hand signing away to find out nope, they do not. Ok next adventure ordering a women who speaks no English and us no Chinese. What ends up happening is the women brings out food, we pick what we want and don't, point at other peoples meals, and presto - DINNER! It was great, awkward but great food, After we start eating, the family is woken up by the women to come look at us and they get on their phones and call everyone they know. By the time dinner is over, the place is pack with people looking at us and cheersing us with drinks. What a night and an adventure close to home.

Hey Sara! Great to see that you're having a blast over there!!! The fashion show looked like it was pretty sweet...maybe you can save up to buy some Chinese high-fashion to wear back in Port Alberni.
Things are going well here; school is as busy as ever. I got another tattoo, which I'll have to send you a picture of; it's of lotus flowers, dragon flies, and my great-great grandma's art-nouveau necklace. It's very big, but also very cool. I'm happy with it, which is really all that matters.
Well, it's another rainy Sunday in Port...it's hard to get too motivated, but I'll have to try to do SOMETHING!!! As you've heard, Tofino needs the rain badly.
Anyways, experiment with lots of exciting new foods, and keep on updating your blog!
