Reunion
Friendship is one of the incredible miracles in our life. No matter how long or how far we are apart, the same experiences and concerns that we shared in those days never made our friendship fade away. This turns to be more than happiness when we finally meet again face to face across time and space.
Last weekend all this happened to me . For the first time in 30 years. This is about the Rotary students who shared two months during the summer at college in the US, where the Rotary International provided us with the orientation before we left for each applied university in the US.
My close friend, Suchada stopped by Tokyo over the weekend on her way back to LA from BK. We spent two days together. We felt for two days as if we were all riding on a merry-go-round.
Yes finally we made it. The instant we saw each other at the hotel lobby, we didn't feel we were apart for such a long time. Ahead of the fancy dinner with two boys, now gentlemen, in the evening, three girls enjoyed the afternoon chatting to fill in each 30 years' interval. And the dinner was just lavish enough to make it up for our 30 years. Our talk seemed endless before we knew we stayed too long at the restaurant. We talked and laughed a lot. The food was awesome and the service was great.
Now 17 Rotary classmates are united in Facebook group page. In this reunion with Suchada, wherever we go, at every visiting spot, she and I were busy "check-in" in Facebook with each iPhones to update our photos and messages to the rest of our friends. It was just fun because every time we checked in, our friends of all different places on the earth gave us "likes" instantly. We giggled at the results. We owed Facebook so much. There will be another reunions in the near future in Japan, or somewhere else in this world. No matter where it comes up, we will share our exciting moments together. And one day, we are hoping , all of us will get together at one place like we once used to do. How thrilling ! This was a great weekend.
