I got a wedding invitation from Tina a couple of days before. She is now here in town preparing for her wedding in june. I'm really looking forward to this wedding and I'm so happy that she'll celebrate here in my city and not in N., which is so far away. I met my friends at the restaurant Moon Thai in Berlin-Mitte. They offer Thai dishes and sushi. This is the 3rd Moon Thai restaurant in Berlin.
I've known Tina since the 1st grade, but she was only in my parallel class at primary school. We have been friends since the beginning of the "gymnasium" (an academic high school in some European countries, especially Germany).
Brick & Anne
Brick joined my primary school in the 4th grade. Anne and Brick make a good couple!
I'm glad that I still have friends from my childhood. They know almost everything about you. Your ups and downs. How you've grown up, how you've changed and more or less found your personality. Jörg, who was missing today (he works now in South Germany ) often remembers me how shy I was when I was young. In the 1st grade I was so shy and speaked so low that my math teacher said:"Ally, please shout CAKE! Shout!" I don't know why the word "cake" but I swear I had to repeat shouting this word at least tree times until it was loud enough.
Pat King with chicken (only 3,50 EUR), rice extra.
Both seem to be happy with their dinner.
I had a big Thai soup "Kuoi Tieu Tom Yam" (6,90 EUR). It was ok. I've never been in this restaurant before. The ambience of the restaurant is quite nice: clean, comfy, dim light, Buddha sculpture, design in green / pink (flowers). It's a pity that I didn't take a pic of the restaurant.
It was a kind of "ladies night", therefore every cocktail costs only 3,50 EUR. For men 3,90 EUR. It's almost half of the normal price for a cocktail. But of course this price doesn't ruin the owner, for the cocktails are really wishi-washi. It doesn't mean that they aren't tasty! They are in some way. But they have less alcohol and the bar keeper doesn't take recipes seriously. My "Mai Tai" is red as you can see.
Hours later Mrs. Dü-Tö and Mr. Tö. joined us. They have just married. I think you can see the sparkle in their eyes. ;)) Mrs. Dü-Tö hardly drinks anything else than wheat beer. She also attended my "gymnasium". The financial crisis has reached us! Mr. Tö. showed us what he had bought at the KaDeWe (the largest department store in Europe before Harrod in London.) 2 hours ago: about 8 underpants from the good old traditional german brand Schiesser! Schiesser declared insolvency recently so Mr. Tö. bought enough underpants ahead before he can't buy them anymore.
We had a funny time together. I really enjoyed it!
Is she going to eat the cake or is it an expression of joy?
It was a very funny birthday! What I've learned today: Never let other people mix your drinks!
