Richie , a kiwi I met on a mountain in Nepal 5 years ago and with whom Mik and I travelled through large parts of India , is visitning Oslo ! Last night we walked along Akerselva for the annual candlelit equinox - riverwalk . Very nice . And mr . Richie is geek enough to have a mobilephone with camera and GPS as well as a flickr - account .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What may be the reason I was excited to see Richie ?


I have have n't seen him for a long time , it 's been many years now .
