I was happy, my Si-Mo (wife of Si-Fu) went with us. We had lunch at Roots Burgers restaurant next door to Lang Son Traders. Bradley and I made another trip there to change is kung fu shoes and he bought is swords and got a $10 school discount.

Thank you to Bradley for riding with me on a second trip to Lang Son Traders and treating me to lunch at the Korean Restaurant next door to Roots Burgers.
