chit chat

He has a long hair, hair longer than a ponytail. Mr. Z returned from his overseas mission and he is interested to share his experience with the bunch of friend he has. He summoned his buddies for a drink. A guy friend who turned up at the pub also has a seamless well combed hair, that touches to his waist on the back. The two except in their height, all other physical features are identitical. Both has a long and yet rugged humane looking face. Both are well educated and behaves politely with a flashing smile. It is fitting to say the bird of fealther flock together.


Washington D.C might not have the best night life, and but there is a buz of activities and fun things in the American's capital city. As the twilight set in, revellers descended into the town, and engaged in great revelry of all activities. The pubs and clubs and resaurants were busy with business in the evening. Young people came in groves and order their drinks, while engaging in hearty conversation. One can gets the feel of being in a boestrous party, as one table is louder than the other table. glassess full to rim of wine and bear were clanked to cheer for life and health. Our table has four people, friends of friends and all of them I have met before.

The four guys determined to meet and dine and wine for the night for a unusal fun, (at least for myself. It is not my habit to go out to the pub most of the time. But ones a while, my desire to meet people and exchange perspective or desire for a change to my routine life prompt me to go). Four of us, came on our own way,some rode the train and then walked, other drove their cars and then parked far away and walked to the site and we met at this outside varanda of a nice pub and resaurant.

The name of the restaurant I dont recall. it is located at the busy intersection, adjacent to a wine shop. it is not a big and spacious place for dine out. But it is a nice location and with outside couryard. The wine and bear are charged at an exorbitant price.Mr. Z probably have chosen the most expensive resaurant of the area. Or maybe the price are same everywhere in Washington D.C. Too expensive to live and you can not really afford these extravangaz. Asort of cheese and a glass of wine cost $ 30, which my other friend would say, ' it is a rip off'.
but the atmosphere is cool, it was a pleasant evening. We were in a jolly mood. So this one time throw out cash was worthwhile, or at least not that bad. The price seems to include all the fun that generated just being simply be there at this location. The conversation, the nice view outside, and the fact to be a part of a busy night revelers.

The most interesting fun part was the chitchat we had. Mr. Z shared his harrowing experience with the Chinese undercovers following him during his recent trip to the easten Tibet. It is very intriguing, and unbelieveable what the Chinese authorities care to follow a guy who regularly visit China on business purpose. He took foreigns on a tour. The undercover follow up was so serious and obvious, that he called the US embassy several time, to notify them that he is being followed, incase anything happened to him. he was scared to death that he might be arrested. It is understandable what kind of feeling it gives for intruding into your privacy,or have no privacy at all. He was watched throughout his visit in the areas. Poor Mr z. didnt have any fun from this trip. It was enlightening to know what could possibly happend to an American citizen in China.

After that then our conversation turned to food, Indian food. what is our perference and our like. Then to global warming, and GM food, environment, to China and India relationship , to exile politics, to Samdup Rinpoche and to 2011 elections to our jobs and to website and blogging. In a span of maybe 2 hours or so, we chit chated on so many interesting subjects. The beauty of that is everyone has an opinion, it is not contradictory and but critical. The food served was not that great, and the serving by this inxperienced confusing fella not at all up to standard. But undoubtedly the intensity of our conversations and the fun for these few hours was indeed worth all the effort and time and money.

Such a gathering ones a while, is indeed very deserving, and it is a very relaxing.

We parted our way, and bid goodbye for....
