Burned

The dangers of prolonged exposure to the force of the sun have been extensively documented. This picture of last Wednesday’s encounter in the Philippines cannot emphasize any stronger the need to cover up, especially for those of us frequently traveling by motorbike.
Long puzzled, I finally understood the meaning of the traditional Chinese Proverb ‘Driving Like a Roasted Pig’.
One picture says more than a thousand health warnings and I, for one, will certainly heed this.

As for you, another warning could be appropriate: Don’t take everything I write at face value.

You may get burned too.

Charlie Brown Goes to Hua Hin.

I was in Thailand over the weekend for the Hua Hin Jazz festival. Masses of people attended the event, mostly for the chance to have a picnic on the beach and a chat with friends. Hands down the best performance came from Kenny Garrett and his band. Seeing and hearing him play was the main reason for coming to Hua Hin.

And Charlie Brown?
Those of you familiar with Kenny Garrett know that he went to South Africa instead.
