When I first opened my Moooo! Bar and Moooo! Calfe on our island's beach, I put out tables where people could sit and drink their moogaritas and eat their ice cream. It was a nice shady area I had created with stools around. But San-chan, who runs the restaurant next door to me, said, "Why are you doing that?"
