Two Worlds

Sometimes like this morning, I have strange thougths trying to reconcile the blessings I have through this travel and knowing that I will be heading home in August to re-enter student life (and a very tight student budget). Just for some days like the spa day yesterday, I think about what life would be like if this was the everyday. I watched the Forbes "Top 20 under 25" the other night (as you can tell, I don't watch TV normally or else I wouldn't be so intrigued) and I just can't imagine. To most of the people we have met during our travels, from drivers to our spa therapist to the receptionist, whenever they ask where we are from. The conversation usually moves from surprise that we are Asian but we are Canadaian so a lofty smile. And I feel like wow. We are the chosen and privileged ones to be Canadian. And we are and I don't think I have ever been more proud to be Canadian than during this trip.

Worry
I am trying to not worry about not having secured housing yet for the fall and not really having reliable internet access in the meantime. I guess it's another lesson in faith, kind of like floating on your back for the first time (which by the way, I can totally do now).

Up next...back to KL and than Thailand!
