Got my penpal's letter. She's in Cleveland. I'll see her in Edinburgh. :)

Have been writing with her for 15 years. I didn't manage any time to see her when I was in London. Regret about it for the last five years.

We're two poor kids 15 years ago, just hoping to write letters all our lives. Plane tickets were far from reach and there's no internet.

She still doesn't have any computer at home. Economic inequality in the UK is acute. It's too expensive to afford a computer and the internet connection.

Feeling like, we're not poor kids anymore. She got money to get a train ticket and a hotel room in Edinburgh. And this will be my forth time going to Scotland.

Seriously, I feel like I won't have any regret in my life when I will finally see her after all these years. I've been to the snowy mountain top, the deserts, the oceans, the lakes and the lochs...

Yes, there're still far too many in the world to see. But I feel like I have made a lot of accomplishments, thinking about the 15-year-old me. All these adventures did not come across my mind at all when I was 15. I was simply indulging in novels all day long... imaging it would be great to go to different places or even the outerspace.
