I wanted to go there, as everyone who had been to "Malaya" had very interesting things in their houses, and tales of having an Amah to do the cleaning, etc. (I say "Malaya" because that's what we always called it back then, but in recent years someone who is actually from Malaysia got upset with me, pointing out that the country's name changed to Malaysia before the time I was talking about.) Unfortunately we came back to Melbourne!

It sounds remarkably like I believe mine did, even though we grew up continents apart. We are about the same age and I was also married in 1972.
