While I was eating at an Italian restaurant this woman asked me how my food was and I said, “It’s great! Is this your place?”
“Yes, I have had it for only one month. Are you new to Berlin?”
“Yeah, I’m almost done with my trip, I’m headed to Rio next.”
“Oh, I love South America. It was my plan to go there before I opened this place. Learn Portuguese, keep myself busy with Ipanema beaches. Before the restaurant my dream was traveling.”

“So how’d you end up running a restaurant if your dream is traveling?”
“Well, I had been teaching English in China for 8 months in a high school but I thought, I am Italian, half Albanian, what am I doing here? So I went to Malaysia for awhile. Did a lot of diving. Then I came back here to deal with my flat and ended up opening this place.”

 “So now with the restaurant you’re very grounded huh?”
“Yes, but I will still figure out a way for vacation!”
