Thought of the day ... for me anyway

Location: Atrium Cafe, The Empire Hotel and Country Club, Brunei Darussalam
Feeling: full (man I ate too much. bloody buffet dinners)

Oh man this hotel is FANTASTIC. It is soooo nice (service is still pretty crap by international standards, amazing by Brunei standards) but the actual hotel with 8 pools has everything you could possibly want - there's a cinema, all the water activities (jetski, boats, parasailing, etc), lagoon pool plus 7 others, beach area, shops, theatre, spa, gym, indoor lap pool, jacuzzis, golf courses, badminton, tennis, volleyball, aerobics, sauna, etc.... Life here is NOT BAD. It also made me turn into a Japanese tourist - I took pictures of everything, including my bathroom (with 2 toilets). By the way, the bathroom was bigger than my room back home...

Anyway, this had me reflecting, as I lay by the pool, sipping on a fruit juice, that overall my life doesn't suck THAT much. Sure, my job is hard and lots of travel and long hours and difficult people sometimes, but overall, I've had some experiences that I really would not have had otherwise.
So sometimes it sucks, sometimes it's difficult, but it's always different...
Hmmm.
Now that I've made that statement, lets sit back and watch life go out of it's way to make me regret saying that...
