a marmoset's secret life....

Sweet and Sour

The family that run the local Chinese restaurant are super lovely.

The young guy that works there is studying engineering and doing really well on his course. He graduates this year and told me that he’s expecting to get a first.

His Mother is understandably really proud of him.

So, we were talking about what he’s going to do when he’s finished up at University. He and his Mom (who owns the restaurant) are going back to China, even though they’re really happy here, because he says the field he wants to work in, no one will employ him.

“Because I am nasty Chinese spy”.

Apparently the other students on his course don’t really talk to him, for the same reason.

I’m not sure why I’m telling ya’ll this- it just kind of has stuck with me all week, and makes me sad.
