Stef, as usual, pops up here and there throughout different periods in my life, to come and introduce me to some expensive exotic culture. Here we went to a fancy chinese restaurant in Vancouver, and tried, god, what was it...sea slugs, cucumbers from the ocean, birds nest soup, urchin etc etc. 

Stef is a true glamourous star at some point in her life, but I never got the hint of it. Very simply a great friend to have when you need solace and truth of exotism shared as an adventure together always. Always.
