So now coming to the story of this fancy (FREE- Of course) lunch offered for Maria João's birthday.

Our first favourite restaurant was closed so they had to go to this fancy one. While you are very hungry fancy food doesn't satisfy. what do you say? 

I had indeed enjoyed the great view of the place and company of my friends :-)

Hope you had enjoyed watching special display of foods :-)

Tamil friends I met in Dresden!

No doubt they were so kind and helping a lot not only me all guests. What do you except from Tamil people? :-)


Okay. Here I am would love to introduce "Sankar" and "Tamil". They accompanied me in the tour as well. Had a very pleasant time!

And specially "Tamil" reminds me my Nephew Jeeva!

We had good time in conference dinner too!

Also I have to mention that I got a "FREE DINNER". It was at right time I got the dinner invitation. While I was  very desperate to have spicy food, Sankar prepared very delicious typical tamil food! You had to be there to enjoy the pleasure!

It was great to meet you guys and மிக்க நன்றி!

For chocolate lovers!

Being in Germany and not buying chocolate then I would be an Idiot :-). So I happened to meet a nice English gentleman describing about his company and offered a lot of free chocolates :-).

and he showed me the cocoa pod and beans.

Though I am a chocolate lover I was not aware of the fruit and seed.


Hints from wikipedia data:

(A cocoa pod (fruit) has a rough and leathery rind about 3 cm (1.2 in) thick (this varies with the origin and variety of pod). It is filled with sweet, mucilaginous pulp (called 'baba de cacao' in South America) enclosing 30 to 50 large seeds that are fairly soft and white to a pale lavender color. While seeds are usually white, they become violet or reddish brown during the drying process. 

Even though I am not a fan of white chocolate, but the following information is informative!

(The exception is rare^[3]varieties of white cacao, in which the seeds remain white.^[4][5] Historically, white cacao was cultivated by the Rama people of Nicaragua.)

Are you tempted to have chocolate?!? I do!
