Day 119 - The number 119 means we've been away for about four months now. I realize this as we've only four or five weeks remaining before we return to New Westminster.
How nice it's been to experience another life, actually several! I swear this travel-bug thing morphs from something of a nicety to a full-blown necessity. I cannot imagine living as most people do and I never have. I mean what separates one day from another, one week from the last, or entire years from each other?
Jay and I can look back, on Bali not of our intial discovery in the 1990's, but from two months of living there this winter. From that island we came to live in Kuala Lumpur as a base. We rubbed shoulders with others who live here. We participated in activities we'd never have seen otherwise. We developed new routines and learned new ways to survive.
We feel smarter as a result. I don't know if travel can really make one smarter, but I'm sure it has helped to make me a whole lot less ignorant.
