Culo Inquieto

A few months ago I was traveling in Laos and I ran into a friend from Spain who roams Asia much like I do. I told him I was contemplating moving from Ho Chi Minh City to a then undetermined destination. My friend said to me, "You know, Eduardo, you and I are what we call in Spain 'culo inquieto' which means something like restless ass. " I agreed and made a vow to disenfranchise myself of that label.
Often I find myself not liking HCMC these days. The noise and traffic are abominable and learning the language, normally something I do easily, has eluded me. Riding my bicycle on the streets here has made made not like any Vietnamese. An insurmountable fault of HCMC is the distance to the ocean.
In a recent conversation with William Mackey he reminded me that I had mentioned the likelihood of my living in Penang, Malaysia, at some point. Thanks, William, for reminding me. Now I have charted my course to arrive in Penang before mid September. Penang is an island city/state in northwest Malaysia a few hours north of Kuala Lumpur by bus and a 20 hour train ride south of Bangkok. Like all Malaysia it is a melting pot of Malay, Chinese and Indian. Most importantly it is an island with several nice beaches. I have called on several resources in Malaysia to get information and I think I will be greeted warmly. I am quite confident that I will be happy there.
I know settling is a word I have eschewed at times but now it seems a desirable objective. I will appreciate your reassuring thoughts for my upcoming move. I hope I will run into my Spanish friend Francisco in the future and instead of culo inquieto we can be described as "corazon contento", happy heart.
