Watching the Dancing Queen and the Daydream Believer. Lovely ladies passing in the night. I cant believe the Daydream Believer is 41 with a teenage son. She looks about twenty! Then again, in my travels I have noticed that Asian women seem to age very slowly until they have a year when they go from looking twenty-something to sixty-something. And it seems to happen overnight.

I am approached by a drunken young man with bumfluff and a rugby tash – 15 aside! He wants to know what I am writing about, so I say I am working on lesson plans for the next school term. So he fecked off back to his table.

I watch the local guys with their women. Very patriarchal. Almost primitive relationships. And they wonder why their women are attracted to westerners.

And I recall Freddie Mercury asking;

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

I have been a teacher all my life. That doesn't just mean in School! I taught my brothers to ride bikes and go camping in the mountains. I taught Football, Cricket, Squash, Sailing, Climbing and Karate. In BNI I became the Education Coordinator. With my Property Business I laid on Investment Seminars. I taught my sons to Fish for Carp. And I still teach Maths and Physics to students who want to go to University to study Medicine or Engineering. Now I am teaching people the things I am learning online.
