Olufemi

One of my good friends from university comes originally from Nigeria. After graduation we lived together in Friedrich-Humbert Strasse in Vegesack, close to Bremen. We even worked together for a while. Femi came to visit Romania one Christmas in 2003 so she got to know my friends from home, my family, my country. We saw each other last 5 years ago...

Correction: we saw each other last just one hour ago! Femi came to Romania again, this time with her sister who studies Medicine in Iasi. So there I was...waiting for a plane from London to bring to Bucharest my Nigerian friend whom I had not seen in such a long time. Like every single time when I meet good friends I had not seen in a while the feeling was the same: as if we saw each other last yesterday, as if 5 years were just a dream.

How does that happen? Will this ever change or does time when it comes to good friends really become so relative that years feel like days?
