Ngoc

My little cousin Ngoc is in the U.S. to study. She's spending her winter break with my parents. She came to Philly to spend three days with me. I played a tourguide for her, taking her around PA, NJ, and NY.

We hadn't seen each other for over 16 years. We were tight, and we wasted no time to reconnect. To me, it was a dream come true to see her again. She was such a perfect guest and tourist. She seemed to enjoy every sight I showed her. I had a great time as well. Besides the usual tourist traps, I took her to a few places I hadn't been: Continental Midtown and the Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey.

Ngoc's visit was definitely one of the highlights of my 2005.
