A lesson in how to be nice to people. Wakana and I went to Gyoza Yatai for lunch the other day. As we walked in we caught the waitress grabbing a bite of her lunch. She apologized as she came over but we told her not to worry. I commented that we believed that waitstaff are humans too.

The manager came out and recognized us from our first visit. We made small talk and said nice things about his restaurant. We mentioned that we live in Talofofo which is quite a distance from the restaurant (as things are measured on the island).

After our meal we were preparing to leave when the waitress came over to our table with a tall tapered glass full of white gooey creamy deliciousness. It was the desert we did not order but that the manager and she agreed we needed to have. It was full of fruit and whipped cream and jello and, at the bottom, corn flakes. Yummy!

Oh, and the Micronesian Islands Festival is next weekend. We went down to Ypao Beach Park and found what could only be described as a party day for all the employees of all the largest companies on Guam. It was pretty exciting but it wasn't the Micronesian Islands Festival.
