Valentine's Day


So, yesterday was Valentine's Day. I woke up early, went out and bought a bouquet of purple flowers for Vivi. I quietly got back in the apartment and placed them by the bed so she was able to wake up to the beautiful flowers. It was a great start to the day.

We spent most of the day at a supermarket called Jusco (Japanese) and another supermarket, Metro (German). I had never been Jusco but the other foreigners were saying how great it was...it wasn't. Instead, we made our way to Metro which is much, much better. I bought everything I needed to make a large Italian dinner for Vivi so she could try some new stuff.

We came back and cleaner the apartment a little and then I started to cook. This was a little difficult considering there's only two burners on the stove. I made spaghetti with bolognese sauce for one dish, the classic. Then I made penne pesto with shrimp for the second dish. Next, I made some salmon and served it with pesto. Finally, I bought some minestrone for soup, since Chinese people always soup with every meal.

I sent her to buy forks, since we only have chopsticks and spoons. When she came back, I had placed her bouquet on the table, lit some candles and dressed in some nice clothes so when she came back, the table was set...very nice.

We ate a nice dinner then sat back and watched some movies on tv (yes, in English). Overall, pretty good Valentine's Day.
