I have had similar situations in Angola, unreal and highly memorable moments, when people of completely different backgrounds come together, learn of eachother and share common ground - and some booze usually =) Great that you took him to see the Soba and all the other stuff, what magical moments life has in store for us! <br /><br />Cheers from Switzerland<br />Mo<br /><br />PS: Thanks for writing again, just read through all your 2010 posts, great lecture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-64343314479333699212010-10-17T12:09:28.143+01:002010-10-17T12:09:28.143+01:00Don't know if you spotted it, but they have a ...Don't know if you spotted it, but they have a Stag.<br /><br />And a Daimler XJC, as it happens.

Sadly, it is these that usually make the news, not the nice, quiet and refined types who, by their nature, are polite and reserved.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-33000435109892178932010-10-15T16:10:43.606+01:002010-10-15T16:10:43.606+01:00Wow!
