Yes, I am. My friend and I met from one of the language practice application. Normally, I don't usually talk on real life with the stranger who met from the online application. But my friend and I have the good friendship. That's why really appreciate that application.

 

Thanks all

I've never met anyone in unusual situation. Usually, they were common friends, collegues, dating sites etc. Is my life so boring?)

When we land on Toronto airport from India for the first time we are so confused. We don’t know what to do and where to go. Suddenly,we see a guy who looks like an Indian. We ask him. Luckily he was from my province. He helped us a lot and drop us which terminal we need to go. He also give us important information about our trip. We thank him too much. He was so helpful.
