Happy Birthday to Me!
Well, it’s my birthday. I received several birthday wishes from family by e-mail throughout the day and Christine treated me to dinner and Häagen-Dazs along with two of our close friends. Francky and Ulika gave me a Chinese dragon head shirt which I proudly wore for the duration of the evening. Dinner was noodles (we didn’t want to ruin our appetites) then it was off to the Häagen-Dazs store for ice cream chocolate fondue. Ice cream balls dipped in melted chocolate….oh baby!
It’s a funny thing about China…you can take pictures in museums, art galleries, at rock concerts, but as soon as you pull out a camera at the Häagen-Dazs store…trouble. Please be advised that any pictures resembling actual persons or places are strictly coincidental. Here’s a picture of what Francky and Ulika might look like enjoying a certain ice cream at a certain ice cream establishment.
Although the ice cream dipped in chocolate was good, I didn’t feel complete, so Christine got me a bowl of vanilla ice cream just to be sure. I even got a free (free for me because Christine paid for all the ice cream) gift: a Häagen-Dazs tea cup and saucer. Christine topped of the evening by buying me some balloons!
