Thanks. Just relieved it turned out all right. With three heads, it could have gone all wrong!

Great story, congrats! I am a US-based freelance writer myself and had an idea I wanted to share with "Going Places" but can't seem to find any contact information online. I'd be grateful if you could share any info.

Hi, just found this here. Thanks. Just wished we had more room to develop it further but they only gave up 1800 words (originally 1200 words!) Vivian Chong is the editor of Going Places and here is her email: vivianchong@bluinc.com.my
All the best,
Robert
