Some of my old friends called me today because he came to visit my city with some specific purpose.We haven't meetwith others for ten years.When I met him,the first thing I found this friend is getting old a bit and it was good to have some good talking and enjoy a good lunch this good friend.I showed him some of the tour site after lunch and told him where he should go for and enjoy his time.We took some picture for memory and shake hand and say bye to each other.I am not sure when I will meet this old friend but it was a happy gathering today anyway.

I do love to meet my old friends. In fact, I want to organize our gathering but because of financial constraint, it is impossible. When meeting with them, the scenario then would be talking about some other friends in details one by one. Some friends that we remember but never heard of again. Reminiscing the past that seemed like yesterday. Our place is a small community that seemed like everybody knows every one. But even though, we hardly seen each other regularly. So by the time that there is an occassion, it is a chance to gather and see old friends. It is more enjoyable to meet an old friend in unexpected place and time. Like when you are traveling and you are in a ship, airport, terminal, church in other place and even in far away places you still meet an old friend. One of the things that you will notice when you see your old friend,obviously, the face. Some would look younger at her age, because of good disposition in life. Some looked older, maybe because of stress in life. The sweetest to see are those your childhood friends, next are your former classmates. Am I right? Those are friends that I long to see and I'm sure I'll be enjoying every moment spend with them.

It is always a good thing to meet oure old friends but sometimes I do have the feeling that time and space has already made our friendship a bit distance.Why? It is because people change everyday and so do I.After I have left the old city for long time,I have already depart the friendship too.Because we will live in a different places and get to know new people.We will have different experience in life and when we meet again,you just feel that there is already something changed and difference in our friendship.So I think it is hard to keep the same old friendship like what we have before.Yes,you can still talk with your friends and treat them nice,but deep down from your heart you know that the feeling is just not the same.Well,perhaps that's life.

it's always good to see old friends they bring back memories. It's always good to talk about old times. So much better if both of you are close friends, especially during high school and college years since there are a lot of things to talk about and a little catching up to do.

I enjoy meeting old time friends only if I like him or her. It depends on how we've been together. But I would still appreciate seeing him or her after long years, whether I like them or not.

I have two friends we have known each other since we were a little kid. Though after entering the university, we stay in different cities and we can't see each other so often. But when i am upset or feel discouraged, i will call them at once, coz in my heart, they act like a shelter for me. And in the summer holiday, i like hang out with them so much.

It is always great seeing old friends no matter how long it is since you saw them last.I find that there are always things to chat to them about aswell as seeing how different they are now to how they were them.I think that alot of people change over the years aswell alot of places do where you used to hang out when you were younger.

Yeah, I like meeting with old friends and catching up on each other's life. It's a nice way of seeing how far you both have gone, and it's really a nice thing to go back to when you were really close friends and talk about past memories which makes you really happy. I spend a lot of times with my old friends, and up until now, I still really look forward to every meeting that we have.

Meeting up with old friends is always a pleasure. there is is always something new and exciting to talk about. Family issues are something we all have in common.

Meeting old friends is a great thing to do. Especially meeting old friends that somehow move your life. Eating, playing, chatting like old days will help you remember good things that happen to your life. This is also a chance to thank them.

I would love to meet my old friends. I still remember my school days friends who are not in touch but I try to contact them and getting on that. Recently O saw one of my friend at the railway station and ran behind him to chase so that I can talk to him. He was getting out from Railway station and I had to catch the train, I missed my train and got him. It was such a lovely feeling talking to him after a long time. Looking forward to get connected to other friends as well.

I don't just enjoy meeting old friends. I love to meet them whenever there is a chance. For me old friends who stay as a part of our life even if we don't see them that often is a treasure to behold. Old friends bring back good memories and also make me remember that part of my life when I was still young. They make me remember my heartaches, the things that made me laugh as a kid or teen- ager, the things that made me cry, the silly things I did, the crazy things, etc. There is always a part of me that longs to know how they are doing now, I want to see how they look. Have they changed a lot?How are they doing,etc. Once a person became a part of your life their will always be that thread that connects you to her/ him no matter how far they are. Have a nice day!

It's great meeting old friends and schoolmates because you never know if that might be the last you see of them ever. I've had some great times with my old friends and those are memories that can be inserted in our lives when times get bad. They can be memories that lift us when we need it or spur us to stand and fight instead of giving up.

I enjoy meeting old friends.Yet there are moments when i wish to avoid them.I believe in quiet get together whereas plenty of my old friends believe in drinking till the wee hours of the night.These habits i wish to avoid as a i'm a social drinker and my next day's work is hampered if i indulge in such habits.
