I can see that for some of the older old hands this trip is nostalgic. For someone who only put a toe in either side of the 'Peaceful Ocean' it is exploration. I wonder if I am sufficiently free of age related incapacity to be exploring?
(I was slated to visit our offices in Manila when nearby in Singapore, therefore the journey partly funded by the client that got me to Singapore. On the 'phone to Manila before setting off I was asked if I could hear anything when the receiver was put to an open window. I could, gunfire. Mrs. V would not have liked her little boy shot at so I didn't go! Would that same unsaintly maternal figure have entirely approved of me being onboard for this adventure I wonder).
