Connections
My parents were here in the Bay Area - there’s bunch of pictures taken in San Francisco and Monterey. The weather was gorgeous the entire weekend and I think they liked seeing the mountains, hills, and greens which can be hard to spot in Texas.
While they were here, my dad was showing me all the Korean websites - Korean equivalent of Yahoo, Facebook, and the like. While clicking around, though, we stumbled upon a club for the 6th grade, 4th class of the Dong Sin Elementary School graduates of 1995… which I left halfway through to move to Canada. Although the club was originally formed in 2001 and last post was made in 2005, I managed to get in touch with a friend (over the archaic device known as the phone, no less). It’s a life left so long ago and it’s more than a little surprising to run into threads of connections like this. And from my friend’s point of view, I wonder what thought went into her mind when her cellphone rang with an unknown international number just to hear a name dusted off from the deepest depths of her memory.
In any case, it truly is a small world.
