Jason's visit-Friday

Friday-Jason was a trooper on his first day in Berlin. Since it was the last day on school before Spring Break, I had to go to school and he wanted to go with me. (Or was willing to go when I asked... After months apart, I wasn't too willing to let him out of my sight.) He played games with my students, sang during assembly, and met the many important people in my Berlin-life. After the school day, we took a walk and then headed to Oranienburger Str. for dinner. (We were pretty exhausted!)

Jason is a pretty simple eater, but I had plans to show him my life so I took him to an Indian place for dinner. It was a beautiful evening and since these are rare in Berlin, I wanted to sit outside. The front of house told us to wait inside for two minutes. About 3 minutes later, 2 women joined us in the waiting space. Nest the front of house came to seat us at a table they set-up for us. After we were seated abotu 4 men who worked at the restaurant started bickering and motioning to us. One man, then, motioned for us to leave the table and stand somewhere else as he tried to seat the other two women where we were. I got grumpy about the customer service and tried to encourage Jason to go somewhere else. While this was going on, another waiter moved the ladies and sat us back at our table. Harumph. The beer was tasty and Jason made a brave attempt with his butter chicken, but I have to admit that my chicken korma was tastier.
