I got to meet up with Alison again after not seeing her for more than a year! We went out for dinner; then hung out at my place (I had the opportunity to host her for the night). Did the catching up of our lives - sharing experiences, our fears and dreams, and just enjoying the company of one another (:
One conversation I appreciated was when she shared her experiences of having to adjust to her culture upon returning back. Things change in a year; and we change as well. I fear especially when I have to return home and having to deal with the culture shock and all the cultural adjustments that comes with it. However, listening to Alison share her experiences have shown me that it's something inevitable; and that even though it will sometimes be hard, it's impossible.
I am thankful that even though we've not seen one another for a year, our friendship is still strong and I believe that God continues to strengthens our relationship.
It's sad that she was only able to spend one night in Victoria. It would have been great to have her stay longer (:
