Devi , do you have any preference for where you would like to go for dinner for your birthday ?   I don't really know where I want to go . I am having trouble thinking of a particular restaurant .   There is a great restaurant directory here in the weekend section of the newspaper .   OK , we could look at that .   Do you have a particular type of food that you would like ?   I really like Japanese or Thai food .   That Japanese restaurant , Shogun , got good reviews .
