Having lunch with my old classmates

Almost ten years ago I went to Beng Trabek high school, played football, and had lot of fun with them for a few years. Since then some of us went to college, some had jobs, a few started business, and the others moved on in lives. This year, once again, I hung out with them, had lunch, and talked about our past years. Fun time of this beginning 2006. Driving motobike across Chroy Changvar Bridge to Prek Leab, during and after having had a nice food at a local restaurant, we had so much to talk about our past time.

Thank to communication technologies, as most Cambodian people can afford to catch up with the rest of the world, lives have been changed dramatically. During that time, from 1997 to 1999 we did not have mobile phones, the Internet access, and digital photo camera. About a month before our lunch meeting, a classmates called me about the meeting to forward the message to other classmates. So we spreaded the news from one to another. I also wrote to an old classmate, who now lives and studies in Canada, and cannot join us. What he asked first and foremost is to send him photo of this fantastic moment to him. And the photo and text here is supposed to be a memory for our friendship for the years to come.
