Based on the schedule, the train should be here in around 30 minutes. It means that I must be ready for it. Yet, this café is the closest to the platform where the train will stop so I am sure I still have time for a cup of coffee.
Looking around trying to find a waiter here, my eyes are caught on some beautiful Christmas gifts on nicely arranged on a teak table at the corner of the café. They are really wonderful. I leave my seat to get to the gift table and touch each gift there. There are toys, dolls, accessories, local-made clothing and some local handicraft from silver. Wow! Each gift is tagged with price, and I think the prices are reasonable. However, I don’t bring enough cash.
I wonder if my bass pro gift card could work here. Well, I don’t think it is mistaken if just ask the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper does not seem to recognize the card, and I guess it is just fine. I was just trying though I would apparently lose my chance to get one of the charming gifts.
I got this card from my brother before I went back here to start another semester of college in the end of summer two months ago. It is my birthday present and he said that I could use the card for getting some beautiful gifts from certain shops, stores and malls. Most of those places are available in the center of the city, but to make sure about the available places where this card could be used he suggests me checking on GiftCardMall.com; I could also find out the moment of discount and best items on sales.
I get back to my seat and get online to the site on my laptop. I have visited this site for several times so that the downloading time takes only seconds. I wonder whether this side town has places or shops that could accept this card. Well, there are some, but not in this café and I don’t think I have time to get to the places. So I just sit back and look at my card which has my autograph in it. The picture was not my picture when my brother gave me; but I had visited several and personalized photo card to Bass Pro shops in the city. Then the result is this; my own picture on my bicycle taken by my mobile camera. The quality of the image is not so good, but it is nice enough to see on a card. I am quite proud of showing it to my college friend.
Christmas is in the air but I am already broke! I didn’t think that the renovation will drain all of my cash and most of all my bank account gets reduced. I don’t think I could face Christmas in this way. I must get some money or this Christmas will be the most terrible I would ever have.
