Some people may think I'm too eclectic in terms of what I choose to cover -- but that's the beauty of having my own blog: I get to cover what I want on it, and decide how frequently to do so too! ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-65969398040449765262015-12-12T01:52:17.580+08:002015-12-12T01:52:17.580+08:00Hi!

I like it that you are so versatile in your interests and pursuits. <br />I am just at a time in my life where I have almost no time to myself and since I also have a lot of things I want to experience, read, watch, engage in.....it is what it is<br />ToneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392579634126482675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-47260533162508783502015-12-12T00:19:09.459+08:002015-12-12T00:19:09.459+08:00Hi Tone --

So I figure that if you visit daily or once a week, the content quantity shouldn't be too overwhelming! ;b<br /><br />More seriously though, thanks for commenting on this particular post.

At some point I realized that I was not enjoying my time here enough to make it worth being so far from family and longtime friends. The crowds, the heat, my inability to truly master the language--all things people warned me about--have started to annoy me more often than not.

However, on trips to Singapore, Malaysia and one excursion to northern Sumatra, I did talk with Muslims. But it was the Muslim women who impressed me more than the men, because they were some of the most courteous and compassionate people I've ever talked to.

I am mortified and embarrassed by it, and terrified to think of the atmosphere that I will be returning to in the near future. Because it isn't just the candidates, it is the people that support them and enable their extreme reactionary ideas that are so worrisome, Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807205757095971212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-46155116295116143652015-12-10T11:55:19.471+08:002015-12-10T11:55:19.471+08:00Thank you for this.
