I had met my friend now turn to real friend when I was working before in far away place from my native land..I knew it's difficult to find a real friend. It all started when this stranger appeared suddenly into our group discussion and as if she knew me well..at first, she talked like we're closed to each other.I just noticed it to myself 'till we talked and talked..At first met, she told me that " I will accompany her to buy something for her personal needs" but i refused since i'm also a stranger to that place.Time passed by we just amazed that we're one thing in common like if it's my free time I just preferred to be in my room made myself busy like reading, chatting, cooking, cleaning as well as entertain myself the same as what she did.
Time flew so fast in that stranger place we could already adopt the environment, it's culture and the people itself same like we could be that a best friend to each other..Eating together, malling together and visit her always.But time ends up our togetherness since our work contract in that strange place was not forever.even we were apart still there were communication, helping each other in times of need.
Hope it would last forever the friendship that i never saw to others...

Hi jcjonuel16, it's fortunate to have some one to be good friend when working or studying abroad or far away from home. It's great that you have come across such a person. What's more both of you keep in touch yet even the two of you are apart now. Wishing the friendship become more and more strengthen and last forever. May be one day in the coming future you all would meet again 
I did work in place far away from my hometown before. I left after the end of the contract. I still keep in touch with my good friend there via mail. I hope I would have chance to revisit the small town with lots of unforgettable remembrance one day
Have a nice day

yes, indeed! I would say it would be of great help especially you are far away from your family and you could find a very trusted and reliable one. I had met some friends but when we were to our own native land they just disappeared even they knew my contact and info..This friend of mine she never left me until now..

I think friendships ar based on the nature of the behavior of people. Some friendships last forever, but some friendships does not last forever. I think it is always good to have good friends in life.

Friendships sometimes come out of the blue like yours did. I think they are gifts and we must treasure them. I have one friendship like this and it has lasted for years, this person is like family to me now. Our friendship developed because we met on a course, found out we lived close to one another and shared turns in driving one another to the course. When the course ended we met for coffee and when I moved away we became penfriends.

We should always be open to the possibility of finding a good friend even in the most unexpected places and time. I always believe that we can never have too many friends, and all of us could use a true friend. If the person we met didn't become a good friend, then at least we should be thankful that we came to know someone. Who knows what the future holds, that person might be someone who would eventually lead us to a real friend someday.

Sometimes friends come into our lives for such a short time too because their "purpose" or the "purpose of the friendship" could be to teach us something or show us something. Like you said, we never know when or where we may meet a great friend. An open heart and mind also opens many doors and options for us.
