Back to blogging...

Sunday (4/19/09), my brother and I made our first potential friend here in Europe. His name is David and he is the son of one of Mom's colleagues from work. We met when our families had a sort of get-together at the other's residence, complete with good food (a selection of which included stuff we had not tried before), engaging discussions, and music.

The ride to their neighborhood was something, for we had to use 3 different metro lines to get there, and then get a ride from David's parents themselves. Speaking of them, they themselves were very nice people, and they lived in a very idyllic street with a home that was just fancy to the max in my opinion.

Kian and I had a great time with David since he had many of the common interests that my brother and I had. We both showed him a game on our portable game systems (I have a P.S.P. and Kian has an N.D.S.). He enjoyed both of them and showed us a game on his PS3, which I found to be a very entertaining experience. The both of us then told him about the videogames and VG systems we have at our apartment (we have N64, PS2, & GC), and how our PS2 games which we would bring during over during our next visit were compatible with his PS3 system. David was excited about it and he told us that he was looking forward to our next visit just as we are. We also have plans for us to get together at our apartment for some gaming fun as soon as we get our TV sets for our aforementioned systems.

Needless to say, it was a great Sunday afternoon for us.

Best regards,
