As we go along with life, there are endless opportunities
to meet more and more people. Most come and go. Some stay... even for just a while. A few linger a bit longer
and they become new friends.
Since I embarked on a remarkable journey last 2003,
in a country virtually a total stranger to me, I have met quite a number of people who, in their own unique ways, have left
a mark in my heart. No matter how long or short this so-called friendships have lasted, I am still glad to have known
them and spent time with them in my lifetime.
Here are new "mates" (read: friends!) here in
the Land Down Under.
