    AUA from 82 to 85

    Hi all my first post, I lived in Bangkok from about 82 to 85 and worked/taught at AUA and a year at Chula before heading to Tokyo for 8 years. Since then i have returned to Canada with my Japanese wife, living now in Victoria Bc. Wondering if anyone from the old days is still alive out there?

    It was only 5 mins if you caught the right lights to patpong on a 2 baht mini bus. I sure miss those days. I'm 61 and healthy as a horse tho slowing down, practically given up drinking. Any replies welcome including insults!

    my first visit to thailand was 84, i stayed in soi ngam duplee (boston inn, malaysia hotel, blue fox)

    15 baht tuk tuk to either patpong or the thermae, yes they were great times.

    okanogan

    Visited the interior of bc just once, my wifes addicted to green and hates anything that even remotely smacks of dry and desert. We live an easy 20 min walk from downtown Victoria in Fairfield. The land of the newly wed or nearly dead.

    Okanogan is in the state of Washington...Okanagan is in BC...No worries...It would be a desert if they didn't have the lakes...Hence, it's described as a basin in geographical terms...

    Victoria is very nice...Haven't been there in years...But then there's the Georgia Strait...
