Back to Cav's Steak House with Jean Paul!

Jean Paul is a longtime friend of Regent's from Rosemere, Quebec. He was in Thailand for a couple of weeks at the end of January and decided to drop in

on us in Australia on his way back to Canada as he was in the neighborhood (just an 8 hour plane ride away!). J-P worked on a project in Thailand for a couple of years and lived among the population in an apartment and shopped locally, etc...and now can actually speak their language with a short language course and a lot of practice ! Appears that in the Thai language, a single word can be used for perhaps 5 different meanings and only the "intonation" is changed to completely change the meaning of the word!

Could lead to some comical and/or embarrassing situations!

So, I figure that if J-P can learn the Thai language (which does not resemble any language that we speak in any way shape or form!)that then Regent could easily supplement his limited knowledge of German since he will be spending every waking (and sleeping!) hour with his teacher!

Unfortunately, it rained here the whole time J-P was here...it is the rain season! So Saturday night, we decided to introduce J-P to our new crush in Labrador...Cav's steak house! It was great fun and yummy all around!
