Restaurant Chinois

After an afternoon nap, I got up to go have Chinese food. Actually as soon as I got up, a hard rain started so I was trapped in my room for a couple of hours. But I got there at 8pm. It's a nice place. Apparently it caters to the local Chinese population. I'm not sure why there are so many Chinese people in Guinea. Anyway, they have a lot of stuff on the menu and the menu is in Chinese and French. The order was taken by a cue Chinese girl. I tried to impress her ordering mabo tofu with the Chinese name rather than the French name which was like French for Spicy Bean Curd With Minced Pork or something. Mabo tofu is never mabo tofu in English. But I think I blogged on that topic before. I didn't seem to impress her though. She just wrote it down and headed off to the kitchen.

After that, I headed off to MouNa, a fabulous internet cafe. They have fast connections and dozens of new computers. There were a lot of people there even at 9pm. I uploaded a few blog posts and did some other stuff.
