Just the way you are - 2

“Once tasted, always wanted.” This age-old maxim has been used to describe sex and delicious food, but not commonly with reunions. Whether it is family, class or school reunions the first event is usually the most difficult to organize and sometimes decades pass and members fade away before the initial reunion is realized.

This group took about 38 years to re-bond and the short stint they had in December 2011 only fueled the desire for another episode of fun and reminiscing, which is why the plan for this one in Bangkok was hatched. This time 2 in the group couldn’t make it due to time and work constraints, but this didn’t deter the rest from hopping on a plane and getting on with the party.
