I look at past friendships and wonder how we managed to be so close – just like sisters – but mean nothing to each other now. Many times the distance is due to misunderstandings, and maintaining it because (as selfish as it sounds) I’ve seen a side of you that’s capable of causing such pain and alienation, and I never want to be hurt again.

But we’ve had good times, no denying that. I’ll always treasure each of you for being part of my life, for forming great memories in my years of growing up, for being there when you were.

Since it’s the year of the dragon I’d like to leave you with an astute observation I overheard from a guide in Vietnam.

Did you ever realize that the western dragon looks dramatically different from the chinese dragon? It has a pot belly and (sometimes tiny) wings!

 

The chinese dragon, on the other hand, is very much longer and has less anthropomorphic face.

Didn’t really notice till I thought about it!

新年快乐！Will write about my travels soon :) in the meantime, eat lots and collect lots of angbao!
