A New Foreign Friend

I learned a new foreign friend, Vinoth. He is an Indian, 23, and studying for chemistry PhD. We learned each other on the "ESL99.com." It is a good website to find foreign teachers or LE partners.
After we chatted on msn for several times, I asked him out and chatted face to face this Wednesday. He is taller than I thought. He is not only tall but also good looking. He is a good guy who is willing to practice English with me although he is always busy doing experiment. Also, I will teach him Chinese. He came to Taiwan when 2007, but he can only speak few Chinese because he spends lots of time staying in the lab.
I think it is a good opportunity for both of us to learn another "non-mother language" better. He is my first foreign friend, and I hope I can learn more foreign friends like him. An English major I am, I think this kind of activity is more practical than literature.
