hours while they make you your IDs. It may take longer as many people don’t have their IDs yet.” said the lady
as she handed us the forms. We walked over to the ID area. We spent the next 5 hours chatting and watching
videos on our phones while waiting for our IDs. After what seemed like forever, they called our names and
handed us our GBA IDs.
I won’t bore you with the details of all of it. We finally got through immigration and got a taxi to our new
apartment. We walked in, dropped our stuff, and as it was already 20:00 went out for dinner. When we finished
ordering and the waiter had left I said, “Let’s make a promise. To have a celebration dinner on this day every
year to commemorate our friendship.”
Brooke gave me a happy look and replied, “I promise.”

an amazing friend. This year has been amazing and it’s all because of you. I know you don’t like to admit it but
the entire move was because of you and I am so thankful for it. I look forward to another great year of
adventures with you. Cheers!”
