The Dialogue (33)

   I had a chance to visit the sushi shop where I used to be a heavy regular. Since I've moved to my present place around more than three years ago or so, the chef always gave me a sincere warm welcome whenever I visited the shop.

   He probably admitted my sincere visit to his shop even though it is a long distance. For me, I liked his style of making sushi. The rice was not rigid nor sweet at all, just taste good enough to chew. And he seemed to have a very selective criterion in choosing fishes. Overall, I, as a customer, was very satisfied with what he was offering to me.

   His favorite subject of talks was to explain about foreign cars. He continued to talk about the comparisons and contrasts on what good or bad points in a specific model. All I had to do was to respond occasionally to regarding to his comments with the emphasis that I used to be a car lover. It appeared to me that he did enjoy my short comments on his explanations. As a result, he regularly brought up some stories about how the maket of foreign cars were going around.

   I just admire that his enthusiastic endeavour never stops to search for new stories on his subject. And the thing that I've learned from the conversation is to discover someone who stays very long in own interest for more than I could imagine.
