Trying to be a window to the world as the world is a window to myself...and, pizza.

@jaapgrolleman Incredible shot - but, I can imagine that being there is a whole different feel

@LeaningEmma Forget that I ordered two barrels (can't think of the English measure word) of water and the delivery man arrived at nine this morning. Made sure to give a nice tip for the inconvenience and possible risks taken...for water 😕 Obviously, don't normally tip as it isn't the culture

#skydiving outside of #Qiandaohu #Zhejiang and floating (also kayaking, paddle boarding, whitewater rafting) in the lake...not a bad way to finish summer! #summertime #千岛湖 #浙江

@chris__pc Tried FaceTiming my brother in the US on a whim, didn't work - though maybe because he didn't answer. That afternoon, got a call in Chinese offering a FaceTime alternative. Creepy. Said not interested.

The star of the show - given by a friend right when I left. Three-filter system that allowed for plenty of fresh mountain river/stream water without all of the microbes and other bits that won't do your stomach any good #watertogo

#Zhagana, #gannan A 4 day, 3 night solo hike at 3,500m turned into a 42 km 2 day, 1 night hike due to poor directional sense. A few Tibetan herders, yaks, and some Himalayan #marmots - good for a little me time! #China #hiking Though, I'm seriously city soft...

#Prague lovely meeting parents after a year - second time in six years due to COVID. Pleasant weather appreciated!

#Romanian countryside #Sighișoara - adolescent brown #bear tracks had the little hairs on my neck standing strong at 6 am. Learned upon returning to the hotel that a female hiker was killed by a bear the month previous - yikes!

#Bucharest was bleak, but maybe just missed a lot.

#Dubrovnik, #Croatia - a hard place to say goodbye to. Fun searching for some of the connections with Game of Thrones and my wife had her Cerci moment, minus the shame :)

@Whotfismick I believe there's a bell curve - young and it is at its peak, taking a dip when we get older, and our own curves become harder to manage. Once we get really old, there's a little place in the fridge reserved for these treats as they are cheap and easy to store. Nod to Grandma!

@LeaningEmma Incredibly kind gesture. Shows you left an impression, you acknowledged her. That’s the soap I use 😁

@thetrueshelby Little men hiding behind masks. Their use of the word 'liberty' is about as fitting as when dictators add 'democratic' to the title of their country.

Random graffiti - a fan of graffiti, think 70's & 80's NYC, though not simple tagging - a guess not much of a difference to many. Not sure what to make of this - Tongren & Nanyang Lu #shanghai #graffiti Who is this guy?

@GreatHopForward @BeerGuysRadio This was back in 2002-2004. When malicious the situations were either when out with a girl - the comments led to not having a second date more than once (hearing guys sneer and say it left girls uncomfortable), or when friends/coworkers told to cheat me on price as I was a gui lo

@BeerGuysRadio @GreatHopForward All about the intent, the tone, I suppose. Often it was as simple as, "Whoa, tall guil lo" or, "Look, a gui lo". Though at times it was said with contempt. Can't say it was affectionate, but rarely felt malicious. Heard a handful of times everyday. Became as common as a car horn

@BeerGuysRadio @GreatHopForward When living in Guangxi, Beihai, I'd hear the name of this bar on a daily basis, though obviously for different reasons 😂
