Vlad, Nadia and billiards

I went to meet Vlad and Nadia. The plan was to meet at 9 pm but I sent them a message hoping to meet them at 8 pm instead. Unfortunately, they never received the message so I sat at Piata Opera for an hour with my journal. I wrote about 5 pages on everything I saw, heard, smelled, witnessed and experienced. It was an awesome way to capture the moment.

When they came (9 pm on the dot), we went to this lovely little coffeeshop called Friends. Besides the fact that it seems like the only place in town where I can get roiboos tea, I can tell I will become a very frequent customer there.

We talked and laughed all night. They're such a cute couple and very obviously in love.

Later, I went to meet Delphine and two more French friends at the pool hall. I sunk my first shot perfectly. Everyone was impressed, especially me, since I normally suck at pool. Delphine and I played against Manu and Antoine. We beat them. We played again. We beat them again! They beat us the next two games, but we were fighting over the 8ball, so it was a good match.

One of the guys playing next to us was wearing the most horrible shoes in the world. Weird, white, Italian shoes with a curved tip. They were some of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. Antoine told me that if I made the next shot, he would buy a pair. Unfortunately, I missed.
