As long as we never meet, we will always be able to keep our friendship. Yes, this is the conclusion I have made. I think it would be pretty awkward to meet. Our cultures are slightly different, and it would be really daunting to communicate in real life. At least with distance apart and with the aid of the internet, I could still Google certain words he say which I do not understand. Example I learned a few words like 凉飕飕，一语成谶， 又双叒叕 and many more.

No matter how much I tried to look at his eyes from the photos he post on his social media, I just felt it was lacking of passion and spirit. It really didn't match his kind easy-going nature that he portrayed. When I asked my friend to take a look at his photo, I got the same feedback - his eyes is empty. Sometimes I do wonder why ...
