I am a very strange person. I tend to like things most people don't. For example, being in school and airports ( Read more... )

What is an ultimate conflict of interest? Think it is when your are choosing between love and money? Or when doctor is choosing between what's right for the patient and what's right for his practice (be it from financial or legal perspective)? Oh no.

This is my fourth time, I think, at that restaurant (the main reason being its proximity to my work), and it is the first time that I really liked food there.
