This comment is aimed squarely at the difference between the two places mentioned. I live in a brand new house , ensuite , the whole thing and paid more than I should , because I can. It has a roof patio with sea and mountain views for enjoying those Tom Collins moments and to look down on all those " other " people.
I have lots of expensive ( over paid and custom made ) furniture. I take a cab as often as I can ( who wants to sit in a bus with the foreigners ) and they are so VFM . I wouldn't dream of buying anything in a sale and tailor made is not just a golf brand you know.
I of course ONLY shop at Jusco ( The sushi is devine ) and do a once a month expedition to City Super in TST. I mean Wellcome and P n S is much too passe pour moi and how can one not have a Greek Salad without Athenian Goats Cheese from the south slope of Mount Olympus. The North side just doesn't have that picant freshness. YES, YES, I know its obvious but you never who might read this.
I am sure you will feel much better with this explination and the heart palpitations should now subside from the aforementioned shock of what you assumed. |
I feel a tad better but still wonder....Jusco, really, I mean...isn't that a little too Local....I personally would never set a foot there....heard so many stories...apparently you have to queue to pay and the food is wrapped...what kind of place is that...plus really going there to buy by yourself...it is just look so...Don't you have a maid (or 2 or 3) that you exploit and that are supposed to do that for you?
Have your meal catered everyday, that is the way to go....
Otherwise yes I feel a bit better knowing you have a roof patio and all, we wouldn't want to mix with the populace would we.
