Christophe...
It was December 2002, I was alone in Brittany, 11 km away from my family and friends... Nobody to celebrate Christmas with, there was a friend who invited me for New Year. It was very kind of him and I accepted the invitation but soon regretted it. His friends' idea of celebrating New Year's was getting drunk and talking nonsense. I heard all sorts of stupid questions about me, my country etc. etc..., stupidity depending on the degree of alcohol of each guy or girl. So before I knew I was in the middle of a bunch of drunkiards, not knowing exactly what I was doing there and I soon left the "party".
Back to Vannes I decided to write all the telephone numbers and addresses contained on my previous agenda and suddenly found the name of this guy... Christophe. I had never met him, he was one of the nice fellows who had kindly offer his help when I was trying to get organized to come here. I did not accept his help, but there was something I was really curious about. During the many hours we chatted, he spoke about his passion concerning the Chinese Culture and the fact that he had many Chinese friends (same as me). I was wondering if this was true or if it was only to flirt with me. That evening I decided to send him an SMS with the following message: "Ni hao, do you remember me?". The answer came soon. The next morning he calls me and... Of course he had not forgotten me. This was the beginning of a friend relationship. 
The following months we spent hours on the phone, sometimes the whole evening... until one day, we decided to meet personally. And that day came, after so many hours of Internet chatting 
and spending so many evenings talking on the phone 
, Christophe decided to come to Vannes. It was an unusual day with a quite unusual weather... the weather was dry (for once!!!) and most of all there was snow falling!!!! It was perfect almost magical....
Since then we never separated, once my studies were over, I decided to move to Poitiers where he lived and we finally got engaged...
