Saturday night, after I spent the day shopping, Emily and I met Moe and Joe for dinner. Emily and I met Moe in the lobby at 7:00 PM. He said he had to go to an ATM machine to get some cash, so we walk a couple blocks to where the front desk told him there was a ATM. We see the sign out side this building for CITI bank so we go to the entrance. As we get to the door two ladies walk out of the building and one of the ladies says in "Plain Midwestern English" ( that is Moe's description) Are you guys looking for the entrance? If you walk around to that side of the building there is the public entrance. Moe and I look at each other shocked at how perfectly she spoke those words, we laughed at how strange that seemed. So we head over to the other entrance. We go to level B1 as instructed by our hotel front desk. We get to the bottom of the escalator and we look around for Citi, the 3 of us spot a sign that says ATM, in unison we say, "ATM" and point to the sign then we discuss where it is, we can't tell which direction it is in an we are discussing this out loud. Out of the blue we hear someone say, "The ATM Machine is right their on the right." We turn around and there is the White American pointing to the ATM machine. Again, Moe and I look startled at the thought of two people in the same area speaking so much English? As we headed to the ATM machine Moe made comment how God was watching out for us, sending Americans our way to help, I agreed.
We went to meet Joe for dinner who was staying in a different hotel, we took a cab to meet him, then we headed out to find a restaurant, we wondered to this restaurant that served Japanese steak. It was really good, they cut and weighed your portion in front of you. It is amazing how much that fat ways. We joked about how we wanted to instruct the guy what parts to cut off the meat. The food was good, it ended up being a good night.
