I remember you by Cathleen Davitt Bell : review

I Remember You
 When I read a book that is supposed to be romantic I want that: romance . This book has some romance but it is mostly sad.I liked both characters but I would have enjoyed it much more if it had been a happier story.

By romance I mean the feeling expressed in Here to Stay , this beautiful song by Nicolas Wauquiez and Nancy Mensah.






Lukas and Juliet, the young couple in love, are seldom on the same page; when one remembers the other one doesn't and they miss each other even when they are together.  I found it hard to read until the end of the book. However, the final chapters where the best part of the book ,besides I had  the film American Sniper fresh in my mind , which made me understand the situation in the war  better.

Nissi Station (a.k.a. Cafe Nissi ) in Guilin, China: The Best Homemade Cheesecake ever.



This family owned restaurant is just a few feet away from the Sheraton hotel, both are on the same street. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing , just like you had  arrived home and were about to have dinner in your own living-room.

This is the map they show on their website.


Although you may feel a little bit guilty for not eating Chinese or at least  Asian food while visiting China, the restaurant is worth more than a visit and I am sure your stomach will welcome the change. The owner has a good level of English and is an excellent cook. Everything was delicious . If you happen to go with your family , you will find that there are books and toys for your  children to play with and the menu is quite extensive and certainly caters for all  Western tastes.Besides it is a non-smoking restaurant and  the price is quite  reasonable given the excellent quality of the food.


Incredibly tasty homemade chicken hamburger.

Spaghetti Carbonara, just like in Italy.

Chinese beer and Chinese coke.

Creamy and soft chesecake , heaven in your mouth.


 I would like to thank the owners for the very best meals in Guilin. Their website is  http://nissistation.com/
