Perceptions

I grew up in Winnipeg and at that time Winnipeggers considered themselves as Westerners - maybe they still do.  So I was a Westerner.  The Blue Bombers played for the Western conference of the CFL so West was good and East was bad. Boo Hamilton! Even the "W" stands for West.

But when we get to South East Asia we will have travelled West to get to the East.   And home and Winnipeg will be in the East.  And Western Europe is East from Carleton Place.  I wonder if the people of Malaysia think of themselves as East or West or in the middle? But it is the eastern part of Asia so I guess that is OK for them to think of themselves as Easterners.  But wait - the Middle East is in the West part of Asia!  What happened to Western Asia?

I think my perceptions of the world are going to get adjusted.
