Asia is …

… a great place to learn the difficult art of patience.

Like yesterday, when the bus to Melaka left 45 minutes late.  Why?  I don’t know.  I think the driver was having a smoke.

Or today when the commuter train didn’t show up for a half hour.  I could have walked to my destination.

Or in Ubud when the water shut off in the mid-afternoon.  Why?  I don’t know.

Or today when the cab driver insisted I pay him 10 RM instead of the 5 RM on the meter.  Right.  100% tip.  I’m generous, but not that generous.

Or the traffic.  Everywhere. Enough said.

Today, I am a more patient person.

Breathe.
