Mr. Ren: the coffee addict

Hey everyone, Mitchell here.

Well it took exactly 90 days but we've managed to corrupt our driver, Mr. Ren. When we first hired him, he announced proudly that he did not drink alcohol, coffee or tea. He has faithfully driven us to Starbucks and Costa Coffee every time we asked. As he dropped us off he would typically make a comment similar to "coffee sleep no good" or "coffee make the body rowdy" (yes, amazingly our driver knows the word "rowdy").

A few weeks ago we were returning home from running errands and I noticed a McDonalds sack in the front seat. I've heard him repeatedly mention that he didn't like McDonalds food so I felt I had to give him a hard time. It turns out that he went there to get a coffee! Apparently, after so many times seeing us get morning coffee, afternoon coffee, and nighttime coffee, he felt like he needed to try it. We asked him how he liked it and he said it wasn't very good.

The next day Jess bought him a Caramel Latte at Costa Coffee and now he's addicted! Each time we pass by he asks me if I want to stop for coffee. Too funny!
