Being approached by strangers requesting I take their picture in front of some tourist attraction happened quite frequently. If they could not ask me in English, they usually pointed to their camera and nodded with a smile. One afternoon in Bali, a Chinese couple walked toward me and gave the familiar point and grin. As I reached for their camera, the lady shook her head. Then her husband, or at least I assumed so, walked up and stood next to me with a big smile. And so, in an album of memories somewhere in the Orient sits a photo of two complete strangers, posing by the temple Pura Tanah Lot, smiling like they knew each other all of their lives. Odd.
