G and F have been friends since their middle-school days in Pontivy. Both loners, with a passion for cinema and video games, they quickly hit it off. At university, they took the same DEUG MASS course in Rennes, where I met G in 1991. F specialized in IT and took up a post in Japan, while G took competitive exams for the civil service. They've always kept in touch. We almost went to see him there, but it didn't work out because there wasn't enough time to organize it. He has since moved back to Hong Kong, after spending 2 or 3 years in Paris. We've got into the habit of seeing each other over the Christmas vacations, a rare period when he returns to his parents in France. 5 or 6 years ago, we got to know his Russian wife, whom we had met in Japan, and spent a pleasant evening over (several) bottles of champagne! This year, unfortunately, it couldn't happen, as they were ill at Christmas time and left for Hong Kong the following week. It's only a postponement!
