Its been quite sometime since I had been to southern Thailand. To be honest, its been 25 years since I've been there. I was just a small kid when I lived there. However, big enough to remember things and people. Ironically, I find myself living in Southeast Asia once again. So it wasn't a complete surprise when I got connected once again.
"Hey guy. Is this you in this picture?" I wasn't really sure what to think. Maybe spam, maybe just the wrong picture. However, the name was Thai and then I got curious. The link was dead. Nothing. Oh well, it must have been spam. I just forgot about the whole thing and forgot to delete it. I found it a few days later, the email and clicked on the link again. This time, the picture did come up and it was me in the picture! There I was, with a large number of other kids from my class in Hat Yai. I've never seen the picture before, none of us are in uniform and I don't know where we are exactly. What resulted was a large amount of emails between myself and people I had not seen or heard from in a very long time. There was the red tinge to the picture that I always associated with my parents pictures. Ironic, how we turn into our parents.
Since I'm not far, there is a chance that I will go see them. Hopefully it stops raining and its safe enough to go back. I think it should be, but southern Thailand isn't always the best place to visit since the violence sprang up again. Lets hope it works out. It would be fun to catch up with those in the picture and visit a place I used to live so many years ago.
