Part of a farewell speech

…The experience is true once in a lifetime. The moment I arrived at Frankford Airport I know that my stay here would pull me so close the people and culture here. I wish I didn't have to say goodbye because I’m afraid I’ll miss every little detail of that what has become my daily life here. I’ll miss the nights I spent here walk down the streets and riding in taxis under the moonlight. I’ll miss being able to move about so freely in a foreign city or I will miss all of the smiling faces that greeted me down every new streets. I’d like to thank all of you for being such kind. I’m looking forward to the day then I can come back to our city.
