Being Well

Then and now

By April 15, 2014January 14th, 2020No Comments

It’s half way through the April challenge and I’m taking a day off … almost. I can’t avoid blogging totally, but there are a lot fewer words in this post. The other day I found some photos of Melaka from my visit sometime in the late 1970s. Back then it was still called Malacca, most of the time.

And this is what it is like now:

As is quite apparent from the haphazard arrangement of these photos, visual appearance is not my strong suit, but just for once I am letting the pictures speak. Seeing the vast difference between the sets of photos, and realising how much change there has been over the decades, has brought home to me just how long it is since I have been to Malaysia and how much has changed. I had previously seen the length of time only in terms of my own life. Now I can see it plainly in a much larger context.

Tomorrow – back to the itinerary and Penang.
