I hope you are better now.<BR/><BR/>I.S., yes the 540RMB was for all of us. I think I have become so accustomed to paying 40 RMB for a meal for 4 people that having to pay more than 100 feels like I am really forking out the cash. Maybe when you came to Wenzhou you were taken to all of the "best" restaurants. Usually we go to the kind of restaurants where the decor costs less than 500 RMB, :D<BR/><BR/>Alex, I hear you on that one!!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671311883343642773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341362141780490822.post-44148840384335494262009-02-17T06:45:00.000+00:002009-02-17T06:45:00.000+00:00Valentines Day=One big rip offIt's just another no...Valentines Day=One big rip off<BR/><BR/>It's just another normal, miserable day like Christmas, why all the excitement?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341362141780490822.post-89381934588362431392009-02-17T01:57:00.000+00:002009-02-17T01:57:00.000+00:00Is the 540RBM per person or for the 4 of you?

I remember paying at least that much in Wenzhou 6 months ago in almost all the restaurants we went to. Or were we just getting ripped off? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341362141780490822.post-85066714211870386942009-02-16T11:44:00.000+00:002009-02-16T11:44:00.000+00:00Hey, that was a lovely dinner isn't it, i liked it...Hey, that was a lovely dinner isn't it, i liked it, and it was good to catch up with Johann and his girlfriend!

I think the most happiest ones for this kind of event are the bosses of restaurants.

For example, Indian is becoming way more Westernized and 50% of the population is below the age of 25, and we sadly know youth of other countries a lot of the time try to be like America idiotically.<BR/><BR/>But I spent my Valentines sick, still sick, and was sick before that. Ugh, I just want to know what I did to get this. -.-<BR/><BR/>Namaste!The Acolyte Taohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285748802902260770noreply@blogger.com
