Back in Sydney at last.

Hello, How are you. Well I hope. I may well be writing to myself and having thought about it I have decided this will be my final piece. Note that the guy is wearing a helmet!! often I saw two childen on a bike as well.. !!

I realize people have moved on and that is wonderful. It is great to know everyone has found something in life, and at work and play that keeps them occupied. It has happened to me with this new role. And as you will know my recent travels around India and Asia Pac have left me little time to write myself. notice how close we are.. this day we hit one other car and a cyclist . but fortunately just taps in traffic.

I will be traveling again in three weeks time and will be away for another 7 days and on that trip I think I will have absolutely no free time. No complaints mind you. I am having a brilliant time, I enjoy the work and the people and the travel mostly and when away from home I don’t mind the long days – and anyway let me tell you there is nothing to do in some of these places unless you have someone to take you. And the hotels are very nice and the temperature in them is much more pleasant than outside. a much quieter traffic scene. the temperature was 43 degrees so I think people stayed in the shade !!! but note the women is not wearing a helmet again

Anyway, I certainly wouldn’t venture out on my own at night. That is not to be unkind to the people who live there but things are different. Not even necessarily unpleasant – assuming you have some tolerance of other cultures and ways of life of course. I enjoy experiencing all these new places and surroundings and atmospheres and cultures. And the people are really quite wonderful. some more traffic..

Back to writing and the reason for this being my last piece. The idea for this blog was to make it fun for people to keep in touch. Everyone has moved on now so I think it time to move on from the writing as well. If anyway wants to keep in touch they know my email and phone number - but, smiling to myself here :-) ………only three of you read this - I think it is three max these days....... the rest have already moved on and don’t keep in touch and that is fine - so I am writing to myself LOL

flying into Bombay

Anyway if you are reading and if you can make the time and if you want to see some more pictures – I show a couple below – and if you want to celebrate my birthday, than I will shout drinks in the downstairs bar at the Westin on Wednesday 23rd May, starting at 18:00. If you want to tell others who you may be in touch with - the more the merrier. who said they don't have air conditioned buses....

I look forward to seeing whoever is there. Best wishes ……..Michael

and yes the buses are crowded :-)

PS.. Anne just saw your piece.. thanks for the 18th thought :-) if only I knew then what I know now !!!!!!!!!! and if you want to see some HK pictures I will bring camera on Wednesday. M
