The friend of Brandy-the-hotel-boss has been ringing me for a few days asking to take us out for a meal. So I told him the 26th may be good. True to his word he rang up to confirm today.
After picking up Leilei from school (no Christmas holidays here!) I went to meet A Wu at the Pingguo Internation Hotel, a new building near the town square where his wife A Ni has been working for the last few weeks.
We went to the bar and sat down while deciding what to drink. A Wu said he wanted to be British, or at least do something in that style, so I suggested a scotch. He was only too happy until it was served. The young lady at the bar had probably not had to pour such a drink before and she served us huge helpings. Unfortunately the scotch (it was Famous Grouse or some other half-decent brand) was rather strong for A Wu, even after we had watered it down to near-homoeopathic proportions with water, which meant I had to help him out with most of it. Still, he was willing to pose for pictures as he liked his "British" look.

The meal we had was nice, and gave us the chance to meet Brandy's friend's wife and son. I really should know his name though.
