Reading unusual t shirts
Feeling a sense of freedom. You can go about your business as you please.
Sometimes I like dispensing with unnecessary or token pleasantries.
I like being in another country without the naval gazing that I get drawn into back home. I know there is naval gazing here, but I feel no need to get drawn into it unlike at home.
Things are’nt taken personally here. People make mistakes, then move on.
No wind in the morning (of the meteorological variety)
Waking up warm
Sultry evenings
Celebrating multiple festivities
Listening to 80’s music – on multiple stations
Choosing not to swim when it dips under 30C
Complaining about the traffic only because I have nothing else to complain about.
A cold ice coffee on a hot day
Running in the morning – its perfect virtually everyday.
Sleeping after a glutinous session at the local banana leaf restaurant
Drinking less alcohol because it’s so damn expensive – got to be good for you
Seeing a woman in a miniskirt and singlet walking next to a woman covered head to toe – and neither caring less.
Living in a place where, when all is said and done, it’s about family: no matter who you are
Making an across-3- lane manoeuvre to take an unexpected turnoff, with no resultant road rage repercussions.
Cool afternoons after it has rained in the morning.
Seeing skinny woman eating huge quantities of food
The vibrancy of a Sunday afternoon and evening. Its a day like any other – time to get amongst it.
Watching people psych themselves up for crossing the road during an afternoon downpour.
Smiling to myself when I hear the person next door at the roti shop, on the phone, apologising for their lateness because they are in a jam.
