a new skype friend
Written on Monday, 24 of November, 2008 at 1:52 am
Last week I was busy doing work when I got an “add contact” invitation in skype. It said: “I am a Chinese girl hoping to have you as my English friend”. I did not see anything wrong with it so I added her in my contacts list. We had a chat. She introduced herself and asked about me. I couldn’t believe that she was for real and that she randomly picked my name in the search results. I thought at first that she was just one of my office mates doing some prank on me so I asked her to call me up. And she actually did! I heard her voice, she was speaking English yet she really had this Chinese accent like Jacky Chan.
We had an interesting chat. She taught me some Chinese words and in turn I corrected some of her wrong grammar. She even sent me some of her pictures in china. It looked so interesting. Buildings and digital signage in every corner. I haven’t seen any picture of china that lively.
I was glad to have a new friend, especially a stranger from the other side of the globe. I hope to have more friends abroad to learn about their lives and cultures. I’m planning to try doing random search in skype too and see if I can meet someone. Wish me luck.
