Dinner with Wendy

Went to Sushi Express in the brightly lit district of Ximending. Going out to eat with a local is kind of a holy grail for me, so I’m grateful she asked.

Our discussions yo-yoed from Taiwan’s complicated feelings toward Japan to protectionism of the local plastics industry. Her dad sent her to the U.S. to attend high school, so her English is pretty great.

When she insisted on paying, I didn't strenuously object. That way I have to reciprocate the next time. See what I did there?
