1 year already !
Yesterday was my 1 year birthday in Vietnam !!! I can't believe it has been 1 year already...
I can remember when I left home. I was very sad and had to hide in order not to cry in front of my family. Even though I was excited about my new life, I found it very hard to leave my beloved ones. My mom and dad drove me together to the train station to help to carry all my lugage. The atmosphere in the car was very stuffed and heavy and you could cut through it with a razor. My mom kept her sun glasses even when she did not need them. I think she did not want me to see her red eyes. My dad was very nervous and I think we all realized that I was about to leave for quite some time. After I got on the train, it was ok as I felt I was already gone.

In a year, so many things happened :
* I changed job once
* I met so many unique people
* I made out with a (old weird) cute Viet Kieu
* I started learning Vietnamese
* I started learning guitar
* I had 2 surgeries
* I started boxing again
* I had a cat who had 1 baby
* I went 3 times back to France, 1 time to NY, 1 time to Davao, 2 times to Cambodia
* I had 2 housemates ...

So many things happened, it is crazy. But what I am the most grateful for is that I had the chance to meet very interesting people and some of them became very good friends. Friendship is a treasure and it is important to realize the value of it.

Where will I be in 1 year ? Still here ? Back home ? In another country ?
God knows ....
