Thursday, December 17 - Turns out Pei Theng – one of Junkii’s closest high school classmates, who now resides in Scotland – is visiting Ipoh at the same time we are! Good timing, huh?
We were able to meet up with her and her husband Charles for a bit of dessert tonight. And they’re really lovely people, but the visit was far too short. Maybe we’ll make Glasgow a priority for one of our next vacations.
Charles is kind of an interesting case, though. He was raised in Hong Kong, but he has lived in Scotland long enough to have developed a fairly heavy Scottish accent. We have plenty of experience with English-speaking Asians – nothing strange there – but it’s rare for us to hear them speak with such a strong British accent – let alone Scottish! It was both alien and perfectly endearing at the same time!
