When I was young, I had a good friend from Belgium. Her name was Kat Mus and we wrote each other nice letters. This was before the Internet got popular. We lost contact as we grew older. Now that I'm an adult, one of my closest friends is from Belgium. Sometimes, life is so strange. There are around 200 countries in the world. The odds of that happening is minuscule, especially for someone who seldom travel outside of Asia. I feel lucky and blessed in many ways. It also happened because I took chances in life. Not everyone is willing to take risks and do things that are unfamiliar to them. People crave for familiarity and comfort and I have always been willing to get outside of my safe zones.
