We've Made a New Friend
One of our friends and his girlfriend came over to visit us from Laredo. ^_^ It was a fun weekend. We talked, caught a flick, went to the beach and enjoyed the company of everyone. We had quite a good discussions too! Two Bangladeshi men, a Mexican wife, and a Greek girlfriend, oh good discussions indeed.
I was quite nervous about meeting our friend’s girlfriend. One never has any idea of how the person will be. Many foreign students tend to be cocky, momma’s boys or daddy’s girls. It is not easy to come to study here in the US. You gotta be 1) very rich or 2) very smart… but even if you are smart, foreign students are required to have a bank account with 30,000 deposited before moving in to the states… and while 30,000 does not mean filthy rich… still you don’t find many people that Do have that sum of money in their banks over here. Of course, she is no longer in school. She graduated a while back and is successfully working in the Logistics industry. ^_^ A business lady for our techie buddy - well actually Hafi is not exactly a techie… He is a professor at Texas A&M International; graduated a semester after I did from the graduate program.
Well, I am relieved to say that she is a very down-to-earth lady, easy to talk to and with a very open mind. I liked her. Lots! Best of all, we can see that she loves our friend and as long as he is happy because she makes him happy then we are happy too!
On October we shall be the ones making the trip to Laredo and hopefully we’ll get together again.
