"So, is there something you've always wanted to see if you ever came to America?" I said turning to Eros as we stepped into the bustling city streets I once called home. "Hmm," he placed his finger on his chin making a serious thinking face. "Someone once told me about this restaurant called Hooters. Maybe I should check it out" My head darted to his with an evil glare in my eye as my jaw dropped open. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" I point my fingers to my breasts and shout at him again. "These are all you get to look at!" But he couldn't even keep a straight face until he burst out laughing at my rage. "Those are all I ever want to look at! I was completely joking!" He pulls me into a hug and nuzzles his face in my neck kissing my sensitive skin. "Mmhmm!" I tried to sound upset still but I couldn't keep a giggle in with the tickling of his tongue caressing my neck. "I don't care what we do, as long as I do it with you" he whispers trailing his kisses to my earlobe. "Mmmm, don't leave the plans up to me. There are so many things I want to do with you that I haven't been able to these last few weeks" "OH MY GOD! Would you two get a room already! I'm going to throw up over here!" Emily said walking over towards us, interrupting the moment. "I think someone's just jealous because she hasn't gotten it in awhile!" I laugh calling her over active libido out. "Fucking Right!" "Soo, where are we going? I'm starving!" Emily said leaving it all up to me. "I really don't know actually" I said, feeling completely stumped as to what places to show Eros that would be considered American things to do. "Let's take him to Chinatown!" Emily suggested. "Chinatown!" I repeated her words giving her a shocked look and she simply shrugged her shoulders. "Why not? The Dragon's Gate is cool and like I already said, I'm starving!" "I'm supposed to be showing this Greek man American things! And you suggest Chinatown...!" I reiterate why I'm so stunned. "Ugh! I don't know what things are American or touristy here! Besides the Golden Gate Bridge...See! There it is! What a wonder! Look at all that shitty traffic that makes me have to get up an hour earlier than I want for work! Ok, NOW can we go eat Chinese food?" She said in a rant but the willpower to keep things American was easily turned by the power of my taste buds. I turned to Eros with desperate eyes. "At least it would be a food experience?" I said with a pleading smile and he laughed. "Lead the way" "Just don't tell Theo we suck as tour guides!" Emily said over her shoulder.
Walking through the Dragon's Gate and down Chinatown on Grant Avenue, one of the oldest streets in San Francisco and my nose is flooded with the aromatic smells I didn't know I was missing. I sucked in a deeper breath almost tasting the spice. The sweet and salty sometimes sour flavors. We walk into our longtime favorite restaurant and are warmly greeted by the family owners.

We are seated at a corner table and handed menus, not that I'd need it. "Oh yea, baby! It's time for a feast!" "What are you getting?" Emms asked me and I glanced up to look at her. "Do you really have to ask? We're getting everything!" "Ok, I know you eat like a bear but one of everything?" "Yea, Eros hasn't had it before! He has to try some of everything! Especially if this is the American-Chinese cultural experience we are giving him." The waitress came over and the list was endless of what we ordered. My stomach widened making room just thinking about everything we would soon be eating! "Ok, first lesson babe!" I say to Eros peeling the paper off the wooden utensils. "Chopsticks!" He follows my lead and peels off the paper and breaks the sticks apart. "Ok, hold the chopstick between your pointer finger and thumb and balance it on your ring finger" I speak while I show him using mine. "Put the second stick between your pointer and thumb and rest that one on your middle finger" I put my sticks down and help maneuver his fingers around the stick correctly. "Ok, now" I say, grabbing my chopsticks again. "Use your fingers to grasp them tightly together and use your index and middle fingers to open and close them like prongs" I show him how I open and close my sticks like crab pinchers. Eros tries a couple times before he gets better at it and brings his chopsticks up and pinches my nose between the sticks, starting a playful war between us. "Ok if you two are going to be a cute couple like this all day I'm gonna need some drinks!" As if on cue to her words the waitress brings over our drinks. "Oh thank fucking God!" "Baby, this is Sake or Mijiu in Chinese, meaning rice wine" I say, distributing each of us a small tea cup. "This drink for the Japanese and Chinese culture is probably equivalent to Ouzo for Greeks. It's usually served warm, almost like tea"
