I teach at a small private college in Maine, so I I have encountered many students from Exeter. I must admit, though, that I have never met anyone from Lovell (south of Bethel, right?).

I haven't been to the American Cafe or to Taipan Foot Massage (although I have read your recommendations about the latter here), so I should put them on my to do list when I'm in town in a few weeks.

I don't really know what constitutes good Japanese food, so I'll take your advice on that. IIRC, TBJ particularly likes Hatsune's service, though, not its food. Am i remembering this wrong?

Incidentally, I totally agree with your assessment of Green T House from a while back. It was one of the ollest places I have ever eaten, but I left feeling hungry.
