The reason I ended up at such a fancy restaurant again was that this business trip went well… and when you want to celebrate, you go to a good restaurant. So this time the menu was different from last time, too.

This roast pigeon had a crispy skin similar to Peking duck, it was seasoned just right, and it was so delicious. It got rid of my prejudice against pigeon. This place really knows what it’s doing.

The work went well and I’m leaving after being treated well… but as you go through life, you realize that things going well isn’t always such a good thing.
