It was a farewell party for Pak Lam and his parents, in a few days time, the family will migrate to Australia permanently, or at least for several years. Pak Lam is five years old, when I asked him whether Australia is somewhere close or somewhere faraway, he answered with doubts, ‘somewhere close?’. The next time Pak Lam meets his cousins might be when he is a teenager. The physical separation of family, one would assumed can be compensated by web communication technology, but in most time these technologies create psychological boundaries. Judging it this way, the farewell could be an impactful event in Pak Lam’s life.
