Apparently, everyone in Thailand has a formal name and a short nickname. From that night on, Op and I were inseparable. From that day in March until June 29 th , the first day of two months I spent in Germany, Op and I spent every evening together, and often the whole day. While I was in Germany we sent literally hundreds of email to each other. When I came back from Germany in August we decided to share an apartment.
Many people fear living together, and for some, it ends a relationship.
However, some of the most enjoyable times of my life were spent living together with her. Op graduated in November, but spent Christmas at my parent's house, and left on January 9 th to go back to Thailand to pay back her scholarship debt. Thankfully, we both have email and computer programs to let us chat with each other in real-time. Both of us also have cameras and microphones that allow us to videoconference. We have talked almost everyday for the last 4 months, and have sent daily emails to one another.
