Europe Conquered

Have I?

This very statement tickled me when, yesterday afternoon, I met a two-years encounter in Zurich. An American with whom by chance I crossed path in Singapore. Since the very first meeting we have on and off keep contact and update on each other life.

8 hours time zone different we met in other continent intentionally and the first thing that came into the conversation was:

"Wow, look at you! You have conquered Europe!"

However sarcastic is the nature of the above exclamation, I genuinely and hardly pray that some day the nature will shift to a no-longer sarcasm but rather a more genuine compliment.
