went for the second part of my survey recruitment job.
there weren't many customers around so the third survey recruiter left and it was me and L.
i'm glad i had her around because she was a nice lady and gave me useful tips since she had experience getting surveys done here.
the people are enjoying drinks with their friends, so you really have to barge in on their conversation.
there was one memorable group - 2 sensible ladies, 1 sensible older guy and 2 loud and energetic people, one guy and one girl.
the loud guy called me over the second time i approached them and told me to sit with them.
the ladies did my survey, the loud guy said he "does goats" so he didn't count, and the loud girl said she was bi. i sat near the older guy who told me about his life in London and how the loud guy is MacGuyver and how they were going to a wedding reception and i should join them.
they offered whiskey from a hip flask and something to sniff, but of course i didn't.
later, L said that the guy and girl were high from the sniffing thing - it was a chemical from video cassettes.
anyway i only got 7 participants this time.
we decided to splurge and have dinner at Vic Park since we both liked spicy Asian food, and it was rare for me to have someone to with eat out anyway.
the skin was yellow, meaning that it wasn't a factory farm chicken?
anyway it was very fragrant and flavorful and spicy to boot.
paired with rice, match made in heaven!
spicy beef slices coated in starch, with bean sprouts and a ton of dried chilli on top - 水煮牛肉 ($22.80).
it was delicious as well. tender meaty slices and crunch sprouts.
i wanted to gobble it all up, but my mouth was already on fire from the chicken and this made it worse. the heat was intense --- but it hurt so good!
Szechuan food is awesome. how funny for me to have it in Perth!
