post script four

1. I have yet to wear my long johns. To me, that'll be a seminal moment in my life. The point where I start to desend. Where I finally submit to my age.

2. Travellers cheques are great but just try finding somewhere to cash them in Eastern Europe. On current form, it involves walking around for ages and popping in to numerous banks to ask whether they can cash them. Mostly they look at me in astonishment. Like a Red Indian on first seeing a locomotive ! And these are Banks, for Christ's sake.

3. I have learnt that some people just don't want to undertand me sometimes. I keep my English simple. Few words, well pronouced and accompained with visual aids ( tickets, words in their lingo). Then further back-up comes with contorted facial expressions to lend meaning and show polite intent. It ain't good enough for them. Ignorant c*nts!
