I’m still here
January 26, 2011
It’s 2011, I’m still in Laos, still working at Vientiane Times, still earning my minuscule Lao wage. December passed me by in a haze of continual celebration, and I’m only now emerging from the festive season.
2010 was quite a year, one which for me was divided straight down the middle as pre- and post- my move to Southeast Asia. I still haven’t got my head fully around some of my experiences.
So, while the Internet encourages speed-of-thought (often beaten to the punch by speed-of-typing on, say, Twitter) and on-the-spot judgements, meaning most end-of-year lists arrive in early December, I’ve chosen to take time out and reflect.
I’m planning a few re-cap posts – including one on my ill-fated trip to the Philippines last year and, yep, some best of 2010 lists (ahem, a blogger’s gotta blog!) – in the coming weeks.
Also, I’ll have a piece up on the new-look and reinvigorated Newcastle Day Co-op within the next few days.
Stay tuned, loyal readers.
