Carla, a friend from Switzerland, is going back to her hometown this coming Sunday. This morning she came to pick up the stuff she left at my home before going on a trip around South Asia in late June. Then we went out for our lunch. In the car, she kept saying, "Time flies so fast!" She couldn't believe that 10 months 3 weeks and 1 day have gone. I was surprised she remembered the date we met for the first time; that is, August 27, 2013. On the first day we got acquaitned, I invited her to eat lunch at Ding-tai-feng. And now three days before she goes home, we had our lunch gathering in Taipei at Ding-tai-feng too. It is a coincidence that today we sat at the same table we had then.
During our chat at lunch, she told me she really loves Taiwan, the strong local color, the nice people, the good food, etc. She found Singapore and Hong Kong too Westernized.
She also told me about a tradition in Switzerland. It is bad luck for the groom to see his bride in her wedding gown before the wedding.
Goodbye, Carla. I'm going to miss you a lot. As you said, you will come back again, though not very soon. Keep in touch.
