One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chatting with the locals in Malacca, 4 old men from 4 different cultures drinking beer and making us very welcome.
A 22 hour bus journey through Laos beside the toilet and in between the heated engine and unadjustable air conditioning. My immune system is better than I ever imagined.
