Lee J Brownlie

I have just turned 54 years of age, and am an English Teacher in Asia. I have lived and worked in Thailand, my current home (and where I have lived for most of the past ten years) and also Vietnam and China. In January I got Encephalitis, apparently from pneumonia, and was hospitalised for several weeks in the city I lived and worked, Foshan (Guangdong Province, southern China). The first week or so of that period I spent in a coma and so that my - already often deep - perspectives., albeit that I also love a good 'laugh' (I'm English, after all!!) have perhaps deepened somewhat is probably of no surprise to anyone!
