4 years ago, I visited Cuba. Everything was interesting, since Cuba was totally different from Korea such as culture, race, environments. One day, my friends and I came to pub, and drank Cuban beer named 'Bucanero'. Across our table, there was a girl looked like doll. I mean beautiful girl. She had a big eyes and long straight black hair. She was not tall. So she looked like middle school students. I came to her table and talked with her. Her name was Hany Hung and 2years older than me. She said she was very interested in the orient. So she asked many questions about Korea and China. She gave a talk about Cuba. According to her, there were many beggars in Cuba. The only way to be well off is to study hard in Cuba. So she advised me to study hard several times. About 9 O'clock, I exchanged phone numbers and parted with her.
2 days later, I called her and she invited my friends to her house. So we visited Cuban house. We were so surprised at her father's appearance. Because he looked like Asian. She told about history about her family. Her grandfather was Chinese and he immigrated to Cuba. That's the reason why her father looked like Asian. Hany's family members were interested in Asia. There were many pictures written in Chinese.
After coming back Korea, I still contact with her. She usually told her vacation and pet she has raised. Then I wrote my story about Korea and my school life. It's so great and fantastic to have a foreign friend. I hope we contact periodically like now.

This is a letter from my long-time friend. I have contacted with her through e-mail for 4years. It’s very exciting to send and get an e-mail with her. 4 years ago, I visited Cuba. Everything was interesting, since Cuba was totally different from Korea such as culture, race, environments. One day, my friends and I came to pub, and drank Cuban beer named ‘Bucanero’. Across our table, there was a girl looked like doll. I mean beautiful girl. She had a big eyes and long straight black hair. She was not tall. So she looked like middle school students. I came to her table and talked with her. “Hi, my name is Haeung Jung from Korea. Nice to meet you.” Then she said “Oh, hi, I’m Hany Hung. I love Asian culture. Nice to meet you, too.” She was 2years older than me. She said she was very interested in the orient. So she asked many questions about Korea and China. She gave a talk about Cuba. According to her, there were many beggars in Cuba. The only way to be well off is to study hard in Cuba. So she advised me to study hard several times. About 9 O’clock, I exchanged phone numbers and parted with her.
2 days later, I called her. “Hany, how’s it going?” “Fine, Haeung, My family wants to see you and your friend. Why don’t you come to my home?” she invited my friends to her house. So we visited Cuban house. We were so surprised at her father’s appearance. Because he looked like Asian. She told about history about her family. Her grandfather was Chinese and he immigrated to Cuba. That’s the reason why her father looked like Asian. Hany’s family members were interested in Asia. There were many pictures written in Chinese. I could feel something familiar. I felt we could be a good friend.
After coming back Korea, I still contact with her. She usually told her vacation and pet she has raised. Then I wrote my story about Korea and my school life. Looking back, I ran into her. I didn’t know we’ve contact for 4 years. But we have. It’s so great and fantastic to have a foreign friend. I hope to contact with her forever like now.
