I spent a couple of hours today with an old friend of mine from high school who happened to be passing through Bangkok (ok, "happened to be passing through Bangkok" is a weird thing to say). It was SO great to see a familiar face and catch up with an old friend. One of the strangest things about living here is that you just never, ever run into people you know - not like at home. So it was great to have as much of a "run in" as is possible in this gigantic, crazy city!
It was by sheer luck that I found out she would be here. Thank gawd for Facebook ;) We both kept saying how strange it was to be meeting up after all these years in a faraway country that neither of us had ever expected to be in. But however it happened, we were happy to be catching up. It was really great to hear all about her travels and to tell her about mine. Also, she was able to commiserate with me about some of the annoying things that happen while traveling so far away from home!
In the end I wished she was staying longer - although just having her here was making me even more homesick! And a little nostalgic for those long ago high school days ;)
Anybody else want to drop in for a visit??? We have an extra bedroom! :)
