Sounmoi

Sounmoi has been sitting here on Bund Garden Road 11 for a good bit now. Most days it’s just us doing what we do, making sure things run right. You know how it is in a local spot. People walk in, some just looking and some looking for something specific. We stay busy with the small stuff that adds up. Bund Garden Road gets pretty crowded sometimes, especially in the evenings when everyone is headed home. We see a lot of the same faces every week. It’s a bit of a routine, but that’s okay. We keep the place tidy, though sometimes the dust gets ahead of us. We aren't trying to change the world or anything. We just want to make sure the doors are open when people expect them to be. The lights go on early and we stay until the street starts to get quiet. Sometimes the rain makes things slow, and other times it’s a mad rush for no reason at all. That is just how it goes here at number 11. We don’t spend much time worrying about being fancy. It’s mostly about getting the work done and chatting with the folks who stop by. We’ve learned a lot about the people in this neighborhood over the years. Some are in a hurry and others like to take their time. We try to keep up either way. It’s just us here, doing our thing every day.
