I order a 12 ounce rib eye last night at Ruth Christ, if I am right, I haven’t eat steak for a few years and didn't return to Ruth Christ for quiet a long time; this is the " get together meal " with COO and In-san, we have such a casual meal every 2 months, I will introduce the restaurant, and we enjoy the good food and play the role as gourmet in Taipei; I don't exactly know how to build up relationship with Japanese, so, I follow my instinct and do it naturally, I treat them equal and fair, be honesty and be openness, as the get together session went for couple of times, now we are really relax and enjoy the conversation during the meal; last night, we share something about " our wife ", we found the character among them are totally different, COO said his beloved is a tough woman, straight forward and express whenever she feel it; In-san's wife always curious about his whereabouts, sensitive in his activity, asking for details, compare these situation, I am really a lucky one, no matter how late I go home for any reason, warm welcome is what I received; my wife is a smart and understanding lady who not only win my body but also my heart. then we exchange the information about how we know our wife and how the relationship is developed, In-san asked us to bring our wife for next gathering, I have to discuss with my wife first, as English wasn't something she commend well and something will make her feel lonely and isolated, I try not to put her on an inferior or embarrass situation, this is not over-protection, simple base on the mutual understanding, they are so kind to suggest our next meal if all the wives comes. shall be conduct entirely in Mandarin, well, I will let her know and see if this arrangement find her OK with no bad feeling.
