The passion for cultural exchange and exploration of the world has
developed a habit of writing snail mails to my pen pals as early as I turned 13 years old.
Since then, I have built relationships with an immense number of people from all
around the world. Many as I have got to know, I only maintain contact with a handful of
them. Gabriel, an Italian boy, stands out as the one that I aspire to meet in person once
in my real life.
Although having been in touch for more than 5 years, there are still some things that remain enigmatic
to me. For example, I am yet to know how his daily activities are as well as how an ordinary Italian is
different a Vietnamese one. Despite some conflicts or debates that could have caused a
rift between us, we still get on well with each other and such difference even gives us
more incentives to explore each other more.
I would like to know and meet Gabby, which is what he prefers to be called, in person as he is such a
nice and open person in whom I can confide. For example, whenever I am down in the dumps,
he is someone to whom I can talk to and explain what’s going on. He would stand by me
and always be willing to give me a hand by explaining my problems and find out what’s
wrong before coming up with solutions. That’s also why I aspire to meet him once in my
life.
