Lao Tung Xue - We arrived Home on 30 June - my birthday, for I had to participate in a protest march on 1 July. As soon as my jet lag was over, I greeted Cynthia Zimmerman at the Hong Kong International Airport on 14 July - not knowing whether she could recognize me or vice versa after an interval of only 2.2 decades.
As you can see, she looks almost the same as she did in HiSchool - just more huggable and voluptuous! It was so GOOD to see her again ! Unfortunately, Cynthia's enigmatic aura brought a typhoon with her as soon as she arrived Hong Kong, and we couldn't go places at all but we managed to go to the Peak and to catch up with each other before Debra arrived two days later from Guangzhou to pick up Cynthia. Debra's husband is stationed with the US Consulate in Guangzhou. Cynthia left Hong Kong after three nights.
I don't know what Mrs Z had fed these girls or what life has done to them. They both possess a vivaciously wicked sense of humour and wit that I had not noticed when we were at Morrison. They are such a symbiotic pair, especially when they start playing verbal ping pong with each other! I was most heartily entertained acting as their hostess. These girls are definitely the panacea for aging!
