I’m getting some prices together for a possible garment order from my mates at Storm Textiles in Changzhou. 
Storm Texties belongs to Eric. His mate Dick comes along because he wants to get out of packaging (not literally) and wants to do some business with his old buddy Eric. Dick can also speak English well and although my Chinese is not too bad it cannot withstand a business negotiation.
Eric and Dick picked me up from the station when I came in from Shanghai and we went out eating. They say it was a western style restaurant but the only thing western about it was the name “Danny’s restaurant”. The dishes, predictably, came one by one. First Eric had his, then Dick had his and when they had both finished I had mine. 
These guys really need to study how a western restuarant works before they masquerade as one. Anyway I didn’t complain, had a game of pool with Eric and let him win ( honest!!). After a quick trip to Seven Coffee, Dick’s mate’s cafe I was taken to my hotel. It was a good hotel called Green Tea Inn. The room was big and clean and the bathroom the same. There was not much scuffing on the paintwork and only one nsaty patch of damp on the wall near the shower. The tables had stone tops which were not chipped and the air-con worked fine.
However, this was all spoiled when I went to the table to see what goodies were on offer and found as well as the pots of instant noodles and cans of pop three packs essential for any romantic tryst in a budget hotel in a small industrial city. The “practical magic vibrating ring condom” and “exciting spots” made me smile but the one which made me wonder what usually goes on in the bed I was about to get into was the “MenSex Oil”. Now that’s not a vision I want as I turn the lights off and creep under the sheets.
