We met on a lovely July evening in Makati City, the Philippines. After considerable difficulties of getting into the beautiful Pearl of the Orient Seas (having been sent back to Thailand on his first attempt the day before!), Janis eventually did arrive to visit the land he had heard so much about, and to see some of his very good friends from Pearson College. Little did he know that the person he saw when coming out from the shower, will be the one he will spend his lifetime with...!
Jenny had been ready to meet Janis as his guide at the airport the day before. When he was missing in action (or, rather, sitting in a Bangkok hotel being frustrated by the visa issues in the Philippines earlier that night), Jenny was not sure what to expect. In fact, everyone in the Philippines was a little skeptical if this Latvian boy will actually come back. So, when they finally met eye to eye, it was clear that there is nothing left to do but fall in Love :)
That night, together with some other UWC people, we went to an amazing reggae club Xaymaca, danced the evening away with the music of Brownman Revival, and then ended up at a friends' place where we stayed up talking all through the night. It was so hard to part the next day. It was as if we both had met long lost friends. We ended up stealing many more moments together over the following days in the gorgeously sunny country of the Philippines only to meet very soon again...
