To blog or not to blog?
My old friend from middle school (and high school, and we actually went to the same university too) asked me to do another blog so he can follow my adventures. We're not in touch very often but he really enjoyed the one I made last year (Things I've Been Meaning to Tell You). I didn't want to do a blog for a few reasons. Honestly, I'd prefer the anonymity. A fake name would take care of that, but still. Even then, I'd rather not divulge a neutralized, generic version of the details of this trip with even my closest friends, not to mention acquaintances and complete strangers who will inevitably find my blog (thanks Google you're *awesome*). If someone wants to know how it's going, they can ask me, and I'll tailor a response specifically for them, specifically for that moment. Also, I don't want to walk around with the mentality that I'm going to be writing about this later, hence the constant need to keep a pen handy and take note of anything interesting or 'story-worthy'. I could just write what I remember at the end of the day, but I am usually just too thorough and anal-retentive for that!! I'd hate to forget something, only to remember later and add it in all haphazardly.... but then I talked to Aroon, and he urged and pleaded with me, and I figured, well, people really did like the one from last year, I got such amazing responses, and I like to make people happy, for the objective reasons of course, and also for the validation it gives me... so why not!!! So ladies and gents, allow me to introduce to you.... my new blog for the Asia 2011-2012 trip:
LOULOU THE TRAVEL BUG !!!!!!
