230226-A chilly Sunday

Today I met a long-time no-see friend. He is really good at joking and I laughed. Though I have met a bad thing yesterday, I don't talk about it. I think maybe yesterday I need to do more preparation to meet my friend BB. Maybe I just lost my boundary and stick to him too much...I need to stop recalling those memories.

Back to today's experience. We have a great lunch in an Italy restaurant. He do research about it and selected fantastic dishes. The chef did a great skill with the pork and I really like it (though it is a bit too salty, I really dream to have a bowl of Chinese rice to eat the cuisine). Pasta with lamb soup is great too.

Yesterday I cried and I chose to stew my favorite favor udon for myself. Food could really comfort a heartbroken person, right?

Then we decide to go to NY. We wait for the bus and talked about what happened to us this winter holiday. He came back to China and was confused about what happened to NY which made me feel afraid to take the subway. We thought it is a complex question and safety is the priority. But the moment we arrived in NY, we lost every word about worries in this hustle and bustle city.

In our schedule, we may walk along with High Line Park, but we spent too much time at a Japanese grocery store(MUJI), and we missed the entry time of the museum. and we continue talking about food on the bus trip, Chinatown becomes the destination. It is my first time arriving in Chinatown. It looks like a vivid county in China. I bought some Chinese dim sum here. The light lights and stores closed, and when we continue walking into the heart of the town, I felt terrible cause there are fewer lights there and people began to look at us up and down with no smiles.

Worse, before we arrived the Chinatown, I shared a book I have read with him, the book's name is Sneakhead——a story about the dark history of Chinatown underworld. So it makes us more nervous. Then we decide to back to WTC and finish today's experience.

However, it is a wonderful trip and I feel really relaxed after spending time with him. Though I would say that the vibe is more like typical Chinese heterosexual dating haha. Today he pays the bills by himself, and next Thursday we would go to Flushing to enjoy Chinese food, I decide to pay for that meal too. Friendship is valuable, I would not wanna break it again.

Thanks, Mari! NYC is always charming!

Today I met a long-time no-see friend.

This sounds like today you met him for the first time ever, and you plan to see him rarely. Do you mean a friend you haven’t seen in a long time? If so, “I got together with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time” would be more natural.

He is really good at joking and I laughed.

Though I have met a bad thingt something bad had happened (to me?) yesterday, I doidn't talk about it.

I think maybe yesterday I needed to do more preparation to meet with my friend BB.

This sounds like BB is another friend, not the “long-time-no-see” friend you mentioned earlier. If these are the same person, it would be easier to understand if you would say so explicitly.

yeah BB is another friend, next time when there are two more people showing up, I would give every person a special name, thanks for your suggestions.
