Friendship of Thousand Memories [Ep. 1]

"The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it." - Hubert Humphrey

Hello guys, how is it going? I hope everyone doing good. :)
Today, We're going to talk about one of the most precious memories that ever happened in my life, so grab your coffee or tea, sit back and relax, let's start, shall we?

So, it's all begin when my winter holiday finishes, I go back to Taiwan, continuing my second semester, it was spring. The weather is really cold, yet windy, it's still feel freezing because winter just begin to stop, so there we are, wearing long sleeves, thick jeans and boots, preparing to go to class, it's wednesday, anyway.

To be the person who arrived first, I saw a new student, and after several conversation with him, I soon realize that he's from France, a guy named Victor. At first, our friendship still goes normal, because we just met, and we only meet every english class only.



But it's soon changed, when our Indonesian Student Organization (ISA) made a welcoming party for our new friend who came from Tanjung Batu, Riau, his name is Erwandy. And I was shock too, because Victor also there. I mean, how did he know about the welcoming party? After several conversation, we found that both of us have a little bit similarities.

So we talked like hours and hours, he introduced me to his roomates, and so am I.  Then, he asked me if I want to be friends with Thailand friends, then off we go to 3rd floor, and there where I found two Thailand guy named Tti and Ton, theres Victor too! There where I understand why he could be in the welcoming party, because my senior ask him to.
It was hard to remember their name at first, but we get used to it, so it's no big deal now. :)

That where our journey begins, our friendship are getting deeper and deeper, especially after we go to night market and have a late lunch together.


We're having a great time, especially after winter holiday, many of my classmates begin to have their own friends, and I'm lucky to have them to come in my life, filled the emptiness of my 2nd semester.
There's one noodle stand, near my campus, called "大河拉麵", it's so delicious that in fact, many people loves to go there to eat, including us, and we're even made the "Noodle Day", So we go to that noodle stand every tuesday.

Unfortunately, theres a bad news. They're exchange students, means they only have time four months in Taiwan, that really makes us very sad. But we need to look on the brighter side, which means, we made several mission on places we need to go during this 4 months. Let's make a happy memories, yea?

Then, food fair festival coming. Everyone was so excited, where all of us were asked to cook our own traditional food, and the festival ran very incredible and awesome. Even though we can't try the japanese food, we're happy that we can try the Thailand food cooked by Tti and Ton's Senior. It was delicious.


We're quickly become brothers, protecting and helping each other, and since Victor was really famous, and he's quite a funny guy (Many girls like him), he quickly open our friendship connection even wider, including Japanese, Taiwanese, Mongolians, even Thailand girls! And he's quickly become close to our Indonesian community also. :D


Then, our next destination is to go to a place, called Sun Moon Lake, by a guidance of Taiwanese girl, named Jenna. She soon become one of our family not only because her ability to speak Thai language and English fluently, but also she's friendly, and she's good in Badminton too!
