Last night our friends threw Tim (my wife's nickname is Tim) and I a going away party at a local restaurant. We had about twenty friends to celebrate our leaving. Some close friends who moved last year and now live in Indonesia even stopped by. Tim even invited two strangers to stay who stopped by the restaurant to have dinner, not realizing that it was closed for a private party.
In addition to good food and some quality liquor (including some 21 year old Scotch), there was a three man band who played. Everyone seemed to have a good time; some seemed to have a very good time after imbibing large quantities of alcohol. The party planner was one such person, and after a certain point she has no memories of what happened. Fortunately, she was among friends, so while we have already started teasing her about it, she remained free from harm or judgement.
Last night definitely helped me remember some of the good things about Thailand. It is easy for me to get so caught up in wanting to move back that I forget to enjoy what I have here while it lasts. I have made good friends here, and met some interesting people. As we get closer to the date that we leave, I can't help but think about how I could have better used the time that I was here.
