Have to say that there has been a certain amount of satisfaction in the minimalism inherent in a life travelling. Yes, wouldn’t want to trade in house WiFi for the little Grundig short wave radio of twenty-five years ago where we seldom listened to much other than static. And we’re never without books now.
But there’s something to be said for simplifying. We honeymooned in Vietnam. It will have changed, but in those days there was no waste. If you stood on a street corner thinking to dispose of anything other than a used tissue, a child would come and take it from you, knowing it had a use. By the side of the road people were stripping the metal from old tyres.
