@marcusdsfacts Thanks Marcus, would've been an intersting tale. 30 years is not a bad run though, hope they find a fun new chapter.

@marcusdsfacts Thanks Marcus. The catzone does sound like the happiest part of an office. Haven't yet seen an ABC cat but a good Burmese would fit in well.

What if Tico Torres had been late to his audition and an Indian Temple Percussionist from 800AD had become @BonJovi's drummer instead? Have mixed konnakol mouth beats with a lone man remembering Living on a Prayer from his apartment in 86 (starts at 3.00) https://t.co/83QBEHohe7

Have done a short news report on moving to Asia and giving up on your western dreams. It includes specific facts on places to live, rambutans and boy bands that will make the move easier.

I'm on a journey to uncoconut myself after leaving India aged 1 and being sent to English private schools to learn Latin and horse riding. Will discover Asia's best things that I missed out on not growing up there - Ep 1 is on oil pulling.
