Mea Culpa, no, I'm not dead

I know, for the usually voluable me, its been a bit quiet, not because I have run out of things and events to write about, but because at the urging of my better half, perhaps in an effort to keep me quiet and out of his way....to write a book about retiring to Penang!

This will not be the usual Glitz and Glamour of a paid travel log but what its REALLY like to LIVE here,which is nothing like holidaying here, why? Because living here is BETTER! You neve miss a festival, a meal or a Sale.....or dealing with the Bureaucracy, the lack of road rules, and all the other things that keep Dementia and Alpsclimbers at bay ... or makes you dead. But hey, I was never one to back away from a challenge and ANYTHING is better than dying of boredom and Bingo, so living in George Town is ideal, no, really.

So this will be about HOW to live/shop/renovate/drive and survive and LOVE it, and all the things we were not told about when we came so many years ago, simple stuff like where to buy chicken stuffing, or the best curtaining, doctors and hairdressers, or the 100 and 1 other life threatening drama's that can stuff up your day. Seriously, it is still a vivid memory how little things that we desperately needed, now, became major drama's as they may be called something different here, or they were only available in one little hole in the wall place etc. etc.

Dealing with the complex Gov. offices, MM2H, utilities and all the rest of the myriad day to day things that represent daily life here, in Penang, down and dirty...and how you can have fun as you wonder just how did you get into this...

But, I have a problem, I cant think of title...at least not yet.. any idea's, you know my less than techinical style of writing, so all title options would be gratefully accepted...if it ever gets printed, i didnt mention that little hiccup did I, if its your title (I would let you know) you get a book! I might be dead by then, but I will write it in my will...I wonder what I did with that.....
