On last day of the trip, we had a farewell party at Paris to put a half-month European trip to an end. Today, we renite together two families at Tony Yang's house at W. Covina. We have been living in neighboring cities, but our past world are so different that we can never be friends until we met in this European tour. They came from China, and live long time in Hong Kong. His youngest son kai was also our tourmate, and I can see he is well educated and elegant. I feel this is just a lucky encounter by chance, or in typipcal Chinese term as 緣份.
They have a cool and very delicate dinner arranged for me and Grace. The soup was peronally made by the host, Tony, and it was really wonderful. It is typical Fuzhou fish ball soup with albolone slices. We also finished one bottle of red wine. After dinner, we went to my house to complete the mutual acquaintance of each other's home. They got the pleasnt meeting with our pet Ginger and recognized her as well behaved dog. They also like our tree garden, and fish pond etc. With this reunion, we feel like making a family of new friends, which is also one more harvest of the European trip.
Their house is not as new, and not built as 豪宅. However, it was smartly decorated to be very elegant and comfortable. The yard is not as big, but it has so many fruit tree with abundant havest of peaches, lemons, pumpkin and the 玉蘭花. A fish pond with clean walterfall. Basically a good taste of hobby symbolize the good life of the host.
NOw Grace will be burdened with a return favor. THe real issue for her is what elegant dinner she can find to treat them back? It is fun of socializing, and the cost of it. As for me, I do not care too much about it, I am in charge of talking and eating. Maybe that's why I like making friends while Greace is quite skeptical and selective. ha ha.
