My Spanish colleague came back from her trip to Malaysia carrying not just durian candies for the office and a smart-looking tan, but something sparkly that seemed to be stuck on her finger.

Girl got hitched! I was this close to joking that she shouldn’t do it – that it wasn’t too late – but I bit my tongue and told her I was very happy for her instead. First time I’d heard anyone pop the question during a trip to Malaysia but I suppose it does happen. I may have to add that place to my to-do list.
