We were unaware of being in the run for an award in Travel and Food, one of the 20 categories selected by Tripbase for its Travel Blog Awards 2009.
Not the gold medal, we came up 6th which is not bad especially when the winner Eating Asia takes an elephant ride to work* as illustration from Take A Hard Left From Penang (July 7) shows.
Our faraway friends from Traveler's Lunchbox came in 4th so we are in good company.
So thanks Tripbase for the kind words and our 6th place.
Not as great as finishing 6th in the Tour de France but it would take more effort.
A little appreciation and ego boost soothes the soul.
Merci beaucoup
