Good Food Review

A good food review is pretty hard to write. I believe that in order for a person to write a good review for a restaurant, two or more visits is required. The person also can not be bias and can only write about what they really experienced. I had to complete two food reviews as homework in the past two weeks and the way I did it was that I just wrote about the things that I experienced at the restaurant and what I truly felt about their way of doing things.

The two restaurants I reviewed were the Snail, a Thai restaurant, and Saint's Alp, an Americanized Chinese restaurant. Both restaurants were pretty good.

The food  at the Snail was definitely top tier. The yellow curry with chicken that I ordered was sensational. I have never tasted anything like it before-sweet, salty, and spicy all into a single bite. The price range at the Snail is about eight to ten dollars for an entrée. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Snail to anyone. They serve up a variety of dishes with so many different flavors that people can experiment with.

The Saint’s Alp environment is one of the best in Chinatown. With their simple yet modern design, people dining in can really enjoy their stay there. The service there is a little sloppy though. Not once did a waiter or waitress ask us how our meal was going or if we needed anything else. Other than that, I would recommend Saint’s Alp to most people.

From doing this project, I realized that there are so many kinds of food out there that I still have to experience and I will definitely try to try them all in the future.

King is still King

Martin Luther King Jr. remains king. His actions and his speeches will remain in America's history as long as we still exist. Not many people today or in history are capable of changing the world as much as he did. His leadership and his charisma are unparalleled and he is honored and respected by most people in this world. All his characteristics and achievements earn him the title of Philosopher King.
Philosopher Kings, like Martin Luther King Jr., should be people who can make a difference in the world with what they truly believe in. Their actions and words are wise and should be directed at the people and only for the people. They should not be doing and saying things that only benefit themselves. Their view on society and the world as a whole is unique in its only way and it is something that inspires the world to think and change.
Unfortunately, our world today is not lead by Philosopher Kings. Leaders today are influenced by power and money, not driven by the motivation to truly help our society. They speak words of value but they lack actions.

I'm a Shoe

The way some people view the value of shoes can be indirectly related to the way people treat others. When we first see someone that we really want to meet or be with, kind of like that feeling when you glare through the window at a new pair of Air Force Ones, we would do anything to get it. We think about the person and long from him/her everyday, that is, until we actually meet them and get to know them. Like when we get that new pair of shoes, we are filled with unexplainable excitement. As we start to wear the shoes more often though, they start become old and worn out, kind of like the person you really wanted to be with. I do not actually perceive people this way, but I know that peculiar excitement definitely dies down after a while for anybody.
If I were to be a shoe, I would want to be one that is highly durable but not high in price. Being high in price, people will expect much out of me because that is how most people in society perceives value. Most expensive shoes are made the same way as those of cheaper prices. If I am so much higher in price than other shoes around me, people will be very upset with me if I let them down. But..... if I am relatively low in price but still function the same way, people will not be as disappointed because they were expecting it. This is basically how I live life. I don't really want people to put high hopes in me because I do not want to let them down or waste their time. Thus, I walk a quiet and mellow road.
