great wkend in folks restaurant

great wkend in folks restaurant. we woke up early and got ready and took bus for about one and half hours to get there. the university that we all used to study chinese or did masters or phd, all extended campus to this other island and have many more chinese and overseas students in this quite new town, still developing and is a countryside, but is becoming very cool in these years we are sure. the rent is soooooooooo cheaper than our town, the couple that opened their third restaurant, they rent three houses that have three floors with big rooftop rent them half price than our apartment, so cool, from the roof top you can see sunset and nice old temples around. the couple, and the other couple, they moved to this countryside and they stay there mostly these days. new shop also opening, first we all ate thier nice pizza, salad, soup, had some french wine, and did catching up what we did since last christmas. so many compliments about my new hairdoo, i am so happy! anyways, some went to uk, russia, south africa, we went to japan, so fun to hear and we also exchanged our gift souvenirs from each countries. nice. they keep on asking they thought we might never come back and stay in japan, so we said nooooooooo, we missed here! hehe. they really like japan, they are bit interested to live in japan.

after that, so we went to their construction site. f and m working hard constructing with the chinese workers giving directions. went to b and w's house to have tea. z, c, a, and i, so amazed by how b and w also live in huge house with cheap rent. the fun part is renovating by yourself.

after that, we went walking around the country maze, and picked some fresh carrots because it is carrots seasons, then z, c, a, and i took didi car service together back to our other island home.

after that, tired from all that walking in countryside, but we all felt so great, no more energy, but had to eat dinner, so we went to the great japanese tsukemen restaurant near my house and had nice thick tonkotsu tsukemen.

what a great wkend!

so today, feel great refreshed in a nice countryside with many folks yesterday. from this morning, a sent me many project files again, doing them on my bed with coffee on my bedside table. looking forward to what to have for dinner for treat for myself today!
