11 years, fixed memory




Last Monday... It happened last Monday... I got bus number 2, as I had a meeting at Café Sopianae. I met my mates there. Since September, 2007, I am a member of Aegee-Pécs, which is a European student's organization working for integration within European countries and their students and Universities. The leader of Aegee-Pécs congregated a meeting to discuss some items on the agenda. How to keep in touch with other 'Aegees' in the future, how to help each other, etc. We also managed to apply for a 4-day-long journey to Ljubljana, Slovenia as well.
The most essential event came after that. One of the new members, who were to introduce themselves at first, started to speak. After mentioning his name, I was sure that the guy standing next to me was one of my ex-classmates from the primary school. We hadn't met since 1997, when I and my family moved to Kaposvár from Siófok. We haven't met up till now!! He went on telling us further info about himself. I was just sitting and smiling. But after a few minutes I couldn't help asking him some questions. :) Firstly, I wanted to make sure that he was surely that person I thought. Well, he was.
Needless to say, after the little Aegee-conference, we went to drink a little bit celebrating our meeting after 11 years which passed. Although we haven't known anything about each other, almost everything came to our mind in that evening. Stories, funny events, friends, teachers, etc. How little is this country, isn't it? Well, this is the world we live in... ;)

It's just great! You should keep in touch I think. It's so similar to the concept of a streem that separates into two rivers but finally it ends up in one sea.:)

Nice story! You know, this could happen easily. Think about us and I'm sure we or our children in the future will experience these wonderful meetings. It's a big gift to meet someone who you liked, but for some reason you lost contact.
