馬城小記19│告別餐會

 

It's soooo nice to have all of you in my days in Maastricht.

I was the first of my friends to leave Maastricht, which was due in part to the exorbitant rent. However, I soon began to lament having to leave my pals as a group. After this year, some of us would return to France, Italy, Indonesia, Korea, and Belize, and we had no idea when or where we would meet. It has always made me grateful to have you, and I consider myself really fortunate to have met you in the bar (although that was the only time I went there). I always remember that I was ready to leave because I had no one to converse with, but then I decided to come back again to try to accomplish anything. I felt so wonderful that I decided to go to the park for a sunset picnic. Despite the fact that we went to the wrong area and saw nothing, I recall us conversing till midnight. I am not a party person, but gatherings with you are a lot of fun, and I truly enjoyed them. I love the nights with girl talks; we kept forgetting when shops opened, so we could only grab a few things, but they were still good. I like the way we talk; it's so comfortable, partly because we all know we speak English with some grammar errors, and we were influenced by each others' ascents; and partly because we try to understand what people say and are willing to share and connect with one another. Sometimes I felt that I could only have this feeling here, perhaps because I knew it would be difficult to see you again, so I treasured and shared more; there was no time to hesitate.
