Lao Mo
1960s 
1979
Before I left Beijing for HK, Auntie Jennie and treated me at Moscow Restaurant. Xiao Yi treated me there when we reunited. Very few items were available, and fewer items were appetizing. Out of nostalgia and nowhere else to go, we went there anyway. As the years went on from it first opened its door, there were less and less big nosed Russians or guilao in that matter - not many western Nations had diplomatic relationships with China. The last time I was there, actually was none. Then it as China gaining it momentum, Lao Mo began attracting new crowds, Chinese and guilao. Too bad I don’t have any photos salvaged over the years and Cultural Revolution from my parents’ wedding there.
