The recession has hit everyone in Britain badly and there’s nothing more depressing that seeing the value of the Pound Sterling plummet week after week.
What does this all mean? To me it means not being able to visit friends and family in South Africa as often as I would have liked. Also, I have been slightly obsessed with the Far East after I visited Singapore and Kuala Lumpur when I was 13. I dream of exotic fruits and vegetables to be discovered at bustling markets and devouring seafood to my heart’s content. Alas, for now I’ll have to carry on daydreaming about visiting far off places like the heavenly beaches of Thailand, eating Pho in Vietnam, admiring Singapore’s clean sidewalks and pondering whether I would actually eat whale meat in Japan.
