Glasgow (7 Years After)

So an ex-coursemate names his photo album of pictures taken around Glasgow over the weekend, 7 years after we've all left the place. And everyone who'd probably only write a wall post to each other when it's their birthdays or the occasional comment here and there, who you've not heard via email or text nor seen in ages, gets drawn to the photos (us included). It's not as if we've all forgotten each other entirely, there're coursemates already married and living overseas and working all hours and the likes...

Sometimes all it takes is for someone to put up photos, probably tag a few people, and next thing you know it becomes a sort of university fun project.

Like when we posted up our batch graduation photo from Strathclyde with most of everyone in it. Since ours was a developed photo from film, we'd to scan it in before uploading, and the resolution once uploaded was iffy at best when it came to detecting faces. Since we had the actual photo we tagged those we could, then it was up to everyone else to try and make out who's who. That photo had a fair number of ex-coursemates tagging people!

We liked how our friend captioned this photo, 'Hate/miss the staircase'.

And now our ex-coursemates, us included, are going through Kepong Bicep's photos as he's currently there, taking photos of landmarks as they now are and everyone's reliving memories - from prices of meals at China Express to the temperature of the swimming pool at the U of Strathclyde's Centre for Sport and Recreation and all other landmarks...

Nothing like nudging the ol' personal nostalgia to bring people together a short while.
