Wishes across the pond

A few weeks ago, I was checking out of the Hotel Divonne les Bains. The girl who was finalizing my bill noticed my name and instantly connected - she told me that China was her second home and started speaking Mandarin to me. I was impressed - it was Mandarin with a bit of a French accent, but nonetheless a language I could connect with. She then told me that I was very lucky, and that she wished she had a name like mine.

It's amazing how small this world is.
