*chm and the rest arrived, ordered dinner, spent time chit chatting
*signalling the waiter

w: sure, like i said you can refill as many times as you want
me: thanks

*waiter came with a glass of pepsi

me: thanks
w: by the way, are you two indonesians?
wj&me: yes
w: saya juga orang indonesia nih
wj&me: oh ya?

*chit chated awhile and then the waiter left

we can only looked at each other and laughed - imagined all the conversations we had about the food, about the people around us, about the cute caucasian who was of course with his 'monkey', even about this particular waiter, about budget constraint, about being a cheapskate .. all along he was there, understanding each and every word we said!!
