years ago you knew me as a peanut
Summer dinner
People who I knew ten or twenty years ago, and have lost touch with are, for one reason or another, back in my life.
1) My elementary school mate J is now sharing a flat with me in central London. Our mutual friend gave her my e-mail address, she contacted me during her advertising internship in the city, and the rest is history.
2) A close high school friend who I last met before I left for England has sent me an e-mail out of the blue. We have not spoken for years, and suddenly she tells me about an old photo of me standing next to her pet rabbit. Hum... I have no memory of that at all. I am delighted about her e-mail; however, a flatmate reminds me that lost friends who reappear usually work in the insurance industry.
3) My neighbour in Tunghai University is now working in London and residing in South Kensington. I had dinner with the couple days ago, and they've noticed how my appetite has improved over the years. When I was a child I disliked food, and it would take hours for me to finish a meal. Having lived in Germany for a long time, my ex-neighbours are still getting used to the British ways, such as the English ability to small talk and network, and the scary London expenses.
