On Saturday, I met up with a Leah House from home! We grew up in the same church, but hadn't really kept up with each other since high school. She is studying in China for a year and was here visiting her Korean friend! I was a little nervous to meet up, since we hadn't talked in years...but there was SO much to talk about! First of all, it's just strange to meet up with someone from home in a foreign country. We caught up on each others lives and what we'd been doing.

It was actually really cool, because we'd both now, been to both China and Korea. It was so interesting to compare cultures! I'd forgotten many of the things that she brought up. It was fun to reminisce about old memories. It was also fun because she brought up names of people from our church growing up. It was fun to laugh about things that only people from home would think was funny.

Leah is practically fluent in Chinese. It was so strange to hear Chinese come out of a white person's mouth! She brought along two of her friends. One was Chinese, so she spoke with her some of the time in Chinese. Her other friend was Korean, so I thought it was kind of fun to practice my Korean on her :) So, here we were sitting at a restaurant speaking Chinese, Korean and English! How cool is that!? Of course her friends spoke perfect English, which put my basic Korean to shame. They thought it was fun ( or maybe funny!) to help me practice Korean.

We had a great reunion, even thought it was only for one night :( It was so cool to see someone from home!
