Re: I'm grateful for...

Today, i'm grateful for Golden Mary, a wonderful Ghanian lady who's taking up French lessons with me, i actually didn't plan this but i just bumped into her on my way out of Migros and saw her sitting by herself having a sandwich and i thought what a coincidence and sat down to have a quick chat and leave.
I sat there with her and we talked for 3 hours, or more...we didn't realised how long we have sat at the bench there but we talked and laughed and shared a lot things, and never in my mind i can figure, what does a Malaysian Chinese girl and a Ghanian lady have in common that they can just sit and chat for hours on end?

Considerably, i realised we may not look alike or come from the same country/culture or share the same mothertongue, but it is when you get out from your little comfort zone and take the first step to approach someone and get to know them and befriend them only you would be able to expand your horizon!
Otherwise i would just end up isolated, withdrawn and desolate ,okayyyyy, maybe not as despairing but i would like to make my stay here in Geneva as enjoyable and as eventful as possible!

As least now, i can tell people that i have a Ghanian friend, and she's invited me to go over to her house, and i can savour some Ghanian food that she's going to whip up.
Where else can i do this in Geneva?? i don't know...but am certainly looking forward to know more bout this new friend of mine and her name is, Golden Mary.
