[quote user="P2"][quote user="ransed"]I respect your opinion on my post! Though I have a different mindset. I think, all of our existing friends were once strangers. Then we meet them. We share our stories with them. We started knowing each other and trusting each other. Later some day we declare these one time strangers our best friends. Life is really like that!! By the way, i am male, 37, business graduate, married, doing job in a Japanese trading company, love to see new places and making new friends. you can count on me as your friend in a far away land! Who knows one day we may become best friends.[/quote] Yes, that is true of friends but let's take your points: I think, all of our existing friends were once strangers. Then we meet them. I do not think anyone on this forum has met you We share our stories with them. The only story you have shared is that you want to come to France - you know nothing about the stories of those on this forum We started knowing each other and trusting each other We do not know you so to turn your statement we cannot trust you Later some day we declare these one time strangers our best friends But only some strangers - others will will not bond with Life is really like that!! So it may be. By the way, I am 27, an Astronaut, own an estate in the Scottish Highlands and a vast Chateau in France where I live with my harem - is this true? Paul [/quote] I liked your effort which you put with a lot of logic to prove me a stranger. I wrote these lines to explain only a real life process of "how we make friends". Sometimes loop gets complete and other times it breaks in the middle. I am feeling very lucky that my words at least make a stirr in your thoughts. At the end thank you very much for your intro. I have no intentions to prove your statments right or wrong. I take the people on face value. By the way, i had applied for the french visa without this document and now hopeful to getting it by mid of April. Can you suggest me some good places in Paris (off course! other than your harem--only a joke, dont take it serious please)? Saeed
