This morning Isuddenly wanted to look for the information of Chantelle Snyder, a friend thatI started meeting back in 1997. It has been 18 years since the very firstencounter! I was just a freshman in North China Institute of Technology then inTaiyuan, and I can still remember the morning when she read out something loudto us in Bailing Park at the foot of Erlong Mountain...I told her that I wantedto visit her some day. "You are most welcome to visit me.." said she.She told me that she had been married and bought a house! What a change. I amjust imagining what an experience I will have by visiting her some day...and Iam really excited to realize that this friendship remains just as fresh as itwas despite the elapse of time.
