I came back from an inter-denominational prayer gathering. Around the table sat seven individuals. Winnie just came back from a few weeks in Indonesia. She founded a scattering of pre-school classes in the highlands and still raises fund for the literacy project.
Evon visited her social worker friends in China. Mr and Mrs Sebastian just came back from Miri. My husband is going on a trip in two weeks to Chiangmai to look up friends. That left Emily and I who did not go anywhere the last month and we have no trip planned for the next month.
We belong to an age of high mobility. Air tickets are relatively cheap thanks to budget airlines. We talked about the avian flu in China. Yet none of us fear enough to curtail our jetting about. None of us are in business nor do we work for corporations. Most of us are semi-retired or self-employed. No wonder any virulent bug gets passed from passenger to passenger and within days it could spread all over many countries.
