Lucky to be me
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008
Without wanting to get too sappy: it’s hit me for the first time this week just how privileged I am to be going on this trip.
I found a Group on Facebook called ‘Penang’ - which has 1,628 (soon to be 1,629) members - and as I clicked my way through its 112 (count ‘em!) uploaded photographs, I was quite overwhelmed by the thought of going there. In a very, very good way.
I mean, just take a look:
I am going to spend time in this clearly fascinating and fantastic place. I am being paid to do so. I am going to live, and be treated, very well. And this has all come at the most perfect time possible for me.
In short: I am very, very lucky indeed.

Right, now back to business…
