Il Mare means 'The Sea'

I went with Corneli to meet Charles and his Australian friend Randall. It was chilly so we quickly drove to a nearby pasta restaurant called Il Mare.

I ordered a tasty salmon spaghetti, with some juicy brocolli, and sipped down my first beer in weeks. Delicious. Randall has been travelling through Asia since November. He was fortunate to be somewhere safe when the tsunami hit. He knows Vietnam and Laos quite well.

We had an interesting conversation with a sweet Korean waittress called Hye Jin about wines, South African and Australian. She seemed really surprised to hear that I am from South Africa.

After dinner we went to have coffee at a place called WHOEVER in LaFesta. I ordered a Hazelnut Cappucino and got a Frappucino instead. It was pretty good anyway. I think instead of calling the shop WHOEVER they should call it WHATEVER.
