My New Friends
Last month I attended an international conference in New York organized by UNESCO. I met lots of people from different countries there, and I made friends with Pierre Chevalier, Kevin Smith, and Mei Ling.
Pierre is from Marseille, France. He is a doctor and is in his late forties. He looks rather thin; perhaps because he is vary tall. He must be over 1.80 m. his neatly trimmed beard is the first thing you would notice about him. When we were together, he was always cheerful, and he made us laugh a lot.
Next is Kevin Smith. Kevin is a thirty-five-year-old lecturer from Washington D.C. he is not tall for an African-American, just about 1.70m, I guess; and he is of medium build. I like his curly black hair and thin moustache. Kevin showed us the sights of New York during a tour of the city.
