90º Turn
I met my old high school friends when I was in Japan in 2006. We had a class of 1996 let meet again thing. Back in high school, we all were studying architecture. We used to see each other six days a week, taking the same classes for three years. We used to like the same thing. We used to hate the same thing. We used to do the same stuff. We were all in the same page. Most of them went to the same university and continued studying architecture. Pretty much everyone got a job relating to architecture/construction. But here I was, I am a computer programmer. I have a job as a programmer. I wasn’t in Japan most of the time since I graduated from high school. I just couldn’t find much to talk about with them while they were having fun talking about there life and jobs. I completely felt isolated from them. From the same people who I used to have fun with.
That was the first time I vividly saw where the decision I made going to Canada back in 96 led me now and where I would have been if I haven’t gone to Canada.
