Nope, it's not because cafe owner Jim Ward is relocating in the United States and, definitely, it's not because the business is losing. It's because..

| The food questors with Bliss Cafe owner Jim Ward. It's good to know the "other side" of Jim. He's friendly and nice, and we learned that he is a Buddhist. A Buddhist approach on happiness shared to us by Jim: "happiness is not always about getting yourself attached to anything or anyone." Makes sense, right? |
