Dinner
We took the minibus again to meet dad for dinner in the basement of Connaught Center, my favorite building when I was little. Just because it's has circlar windows and looks like a Go gameboard, I think.
We had crab with sweet vinegar, it was great. I took the 2 pieces that I intend to have, and got a hairy eyeball and a scolding from dad. You see, in Chinese culture, the main courses are shared with everyone at the table, so you don't just take a couple of pieces and pass the plate on, you just take one piece at a time. Otherwise you can appear rude and hoarding food.
Keep that in mind.
