Naval Attache' Club Dinner

Last night we attended a Naval Attache' club dinner. It was hosted by the Pakistani Naval Attache' and his wife at a Pakistani restaurant. It was well attended. It's a small group and there were probably about 40 people there. We talked with Pakistani, French, German, Italian, Chilean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Canadian and Chinese people. Everyone was very nice. The majority of the group speaks English at some level. Some do not. Some people speak Chinese so that is the second language of choice. Though we are not supposed to, the three American spouses sat together. We left the event with a gift from the Pakistanis. It is two pillow covers from their country. They are very pretty. We arrived with gifts as well. We brought the attache' a book from the Navy and his wife chocolates and flowers in a watering can decorated with a farm scene. We are supposed to give gifts that represent America. We have several things coming in our shipment but have none with us so I had to shop at our little plaza. I found the watering can on a shelf of the framing store. It does not say "made in China" so it worked well.
