Original

My cousin from Mexico sent me a message last week telling me that he will be in Shanghai this week. Today I’m going to have dinner with him in Lost Heaven at the Bund. I didn’t see him since 10 years ago and I think this dinner will be totally unconfortable. We really don’t have nothing in common except our family. I couldn’t go to his weeding, I don’t know his daughters (even I don’t know if they are daughters or sons).
This kind of situations that happen in my family. For sure my aunt told my cousin that I’m living in Shanghai and if he come back to Mexico and we didn’t have dinner, lunch or whatever… it won’t be correctly enough.
So… we are going to have a “must be” dinner today, good way to start my weekend!

My cousin from Mexico sent me a message last week telling me that he will be in Shanghai this week. Today I’m going to have dinner with him in Lost Heaven on the Bund. I haven’t seen him since 10 years ago and I think this dinner will be totally uncomfortable. We really don’t have nothing in common except our family. I couldn’t go to his weeding, I don’t know his daughters (I don’t even know if they are daughters or sons).

So… we are going to have a “protocolary” dinner today, what a good way to start my weekend!

I haven’t seen him since 10 years ago = I haven’t seen him in 10 years
