It was Monday morning and I was so glad that I was back to work. At least there was someone I could talk to. Miracle happened and I woke up at 6:30 am. And I couldn’t go back to sleep. Therefore I replied a few emails to my friends and sister and went to work at 8:30 am. Anyway, I had a very important status report to write (to all the SocGen big bosses this time). And I promised to give Nicholas and Willie a SIR to work with. Spent the whole afternoon doing the BG transaction advice SIR and probably will spend the next two days doing the BG reversal advice. It’s so boring, but that’s work.
Unexpectedly, Michel invited me to have a dinner with his wife. Initially, we were talking about Chinese Food and I told him that I can never find a good Chinese restaurant in Paris. And he told me that there were quite a few good ones near where he lived.
So I said, okay I would come with you if you don’t mind. By the time we arrived at the train station near his place, his wife was already waiting in the car. And they drove me to their place and had aperitif (whisky for me). And we drove down to a Chinese restaurant. That waiter didn’t speak Cantonese at all. What a disappointment. The food was good and we chatted quite a fair bit. Michel was a good translator (as his wife, Mirela, doesn’t speak English at all). We talked a bit about Romania as well (where they are from). They planned to take me out one weekend. How nice! (And they played Mylene Farmer in the car, just perfect)
One of the happiest night in Paris.
