I went to meet my friend Billy, who runs the best Chinese Fast Food in Oulu. I noted a young lady sitting there waiting for her food. She looked familiar, but I did not immediately place her.
I sat with my back to her and asked her whether she came from the Phillipines. Without once looking at her we conversed about generalities.
When she finished her meal, she was leaving and she asked me whether my name was Jacob and my wife's name was Annikki!
Then she told me that she was a faithful reader of all my blogs but regretted that I had not been updating the Oulu Best Buy Blog regularly. I told her that I did that only when there was a Best Buy, like writing about the very restaurant we were sitting in!
Then I recognised her.
She had attended a party hosted by my dear friend, Kannan, for his classmates where he had feted his lecturer, Hannu, and me. Elizaebth Wang was one of those who was there that evening.

Thank you, Beth, for saying so many nice thngs about me and my blogs. It is something I really enjoy and to get such kind words instlls a great deal of satisfaction in doing it more regularly than I already do.
