I started living far away from my hometown, not because I didn't love my hometown, but education and work force some people to live apart from the place where we spent our childhood with our families (father, mother, and siblings).

My hometown isn't just a favorite place, but all the historical values ​​and memories begin there. Our first place will never be forgotten, even if we have to live in another country for work or family reasons.

This is one of the places (coffee shops) where my friends and I often spent time after school (junior high school) to watch television. But now its authenticity has been replaced by a modern shophouse (cafe). I took this photo when we returned to Blang Jruen village, Tanah Luas District a few days ago.

Every time I return to my hometown, I always make time to visit some of my favorite places that held so many childhood memories. Unfortunately, some of these places have changed, or even disappeared due to population growth and settlements...

Good luck with your contest, sir @mahadisalim 🙏
