Mike was an IELTS student in Shenyang,
and my first friend in China.
January 2003.
His father was a medical doctor,
his mother a high ranking official in the Liaoning Railway,
and his girlfriend was from the large Korean community in Shenyang.
After only a few months in China,
I was still unfamiliar with the local culture.
We had some good times together.
Sally was a lecturer in computer technology at Liaoning University.
I had a crush on her, but she was not interested
as she was on her way to study at the University of Chicago.
