Friendly Uncle in Berlin ..

I have decided to post this entry about a stall owner in Berlin as I have received good hospitality from him when I was there. He is a friendly guy who is half Cantonese and half vietnamese. He came all the way from Vietnam 30-40 years ago (I think) and settled here in Berlin, Germany. He can speak the German language pretty well, much better than me speaking Mandarin.....

He sells typical Chinese/Vietnamese Hawker food, like fried noodles with pork chops, hot porridge, rice etc. He runs a stall on the way to the Palace of Charlottenburg. The food are not expensive at all. For 3 euros you get a nice plate of fried noodle with plenty of meat..deep fried pork...pork chops..etc....and most of the listed food their cost only 3-4 euros.

Look at that...yummy!!!

Elvis and I chatted with him for a while. He is able to converse in a little bit of English (which is quite impressive as his primary language is German language). He introduced us the landmarks around Berlin and we shared a little bit of our experience in Europe with him. He kept asking us if we want more food...free of charge...yes he actually prepared to served us all kinds of food he had there but we declined. For us we are not the ones that will take advantage of other people nor the greeedy kind.. We only take the free tea he offered us...ok...2 rounds of tea..and I think Elvis had three...

I'm the greedy bastard on the left...

If you happen to visit Berlin, Just drop by his stall and chat with him. He'd be very happy to give you directions and perhaps a free drink...
