Just thought I'd post these images that I tried to get a bit better resolution out of on one page. I had a talk with some folks last night who remember the Tur Mai Kai as a true paradise during the winter months. My aunt remembered her twenty first birthday at the restaurant an her introduction to her first cocktail. She said that she was blown away from the moment that she walked through the door and walked over a bridge while looking at the fish swimming underneath on her way to be seated in a booth in the village. Always the same thing is mentioned at the end of the stories as people look away like they are back to that place again....."I wish that old restaurant was still here".
