Miki and I are best friends for more than four years. She's currently living in Singapore with her family. Even though we're living in different countries but she pays me a visit about three times a year. We usually hang out or go to one's house and that's how we interact.

Miki is half Vietnamese half Singaporean and I'm Vietnamese but we have many things in common.

• We are Vietnamese.

• We both like to hang out with our friends, as well as with each other.

• Fast food is what we love, although we know that it's unhealthy but it's way too delicious and we can't help it.

• To both of us, family is above and beyond. There's no person on this planet earth that can compare to our family. Also friends are still important but it depends on what kind of friend you have.

• The only two things that we don't have in common are sports and religion. Miki doesn't enjoy playing sports while I do. Miki's religion is Buddhism while mine is Christianity.

We are from different cultures but we have many common responses to our lives. These common responses are what make us best friends and we're thankful for that.
