When you travel around the world it is sometimes hard to keep in touch with old friends. In my life I lived in Amsterdam, Berkeley and since a couple of years in South East Asia. For now it is nice to settle down for a while. In Phuket I found best of two worlds the Western organised business and the Asian more relaxed way of enjoying life. Phuket is out of reach for many people to visit so that is why using internet gives a boost to socializing with friends. That is why I will use the opportunities that internet gives. Back in 1991 it was really hard to find people who where also using the internet. 20 years later it as easy to find somebody at the other side of the world as to say hello “how are you” at the Berkeley campus.
