With the right amount of beer and wine in my body I really like you PQ !
And I had an ugly dinner at la rotonde but catching up on beers with rock in my ears at the green linnet.
All things considered a good evening.
Spent with 4 Koreans 2 Indians 4 French one Italian one German one polish and now one American.
The world is not enough.
Life is great. With the right amount of alcohol of course.
