It has been a few days since my last blog, but what a few days! The world and its inhabitants are certainly being tested, whether from responses to democratic uprisings against oppression in the Middle East, or the horrific impact of earthquakes, tsunamis and (potential) nuclear disaster in Japan!
Whilst life must go, it doesn't always feel right to make humorous or flippant remarks in blogs when many thousands are suffering so terribly.
So I shall continue, not without feeling, not without compassion, but with hope that normality (whatever that means for people) can return at the earliest possible opportunity!
(Continuing, in the style of Top Gear...) ...Anyway, my last blog highlighted the ideal Trailwalker participant, and it seems rather fitting to follow this up with reference to piece of research from National Geographic that possibly was as detailed and comprehensive as mine was.
The research aimed not to identify the "ideal", but rather the "typical" world citizen.
I have previously referred to the fact that with 1 in 5 of the world's population being Chinese I was not sure which of my American cousin's family (of five) was actually the "one", but have a strong suspicion that it is actually 史蒂夫...well National Geographic's research goes a step further and even shows us what 史蒂夫 looks like!
