reconnecting ties

Well yesterday was really (how should I put it) a small step in my social life.Fyi,I had just started to re-connecting with my childhood friend(it's a guy ok).Well it seems that he just finished his A level and waiting to go abroad (UK) this September.Now that I think of it,ALL of my best friends went to overseas(Rusia & UK).Hmm....it may be coincidence.Anyway we started to e-mail each other daily and keep it up until the day of his departure.
