Carlson

Dad and Mom hosted a dinner in honor of Carlson who was a very good host to us when we vsited Shanghai three years ago.  Carlson took us together with Suharto and Rina to many good restaurants and gave us a cultural tour of the city.  What a great tour guide.  Carlson is so soft spoken, so kind, so humble, so low profile yet he runs one of the most successful snack food companies in China!  I have this sort of liking for people who produce snack foods 🙂 We are so fortunate to have a met a new great friend!

 

 

Mom and I were deciding what kind of food to serve for Carlson so I told Mom Filipino food since he must be tired of Chinese food.  Only to find out that Carlson is very picky about his food.  He said he will eat anything as long as if you put it in your hands, you do not have to wash your hands after.   What an interesting way to put it!  I guess that means nothing oily or fatty.  Now we know how Carlson keeps his trim and healthy figure.  After having said that, we are glad he still ate the cuchinillo! as he is a kind and proper guest.  🙂

Mom of course prepared a very good home cooked meal…Thanks Mom for preparing and hosting!

Carlson does not know it yet, but I have officialy appointed him to be one of Heart2Heart’s ART teachers 🙂  He is designated to acquaint Heart2Heart with anything that has to do with Arts and Culture.  So we look forward to more art and cultural adventures with Carlson and share it here at Heart2Heart!
