7 RANDOM THINGS….
I have been tagged by Domestika to do the list of seven not so random things. http://domestikgoddess.com/seven-not-so-random-things
Here we go :
1) In Olympia, Washington State I was knocked over by a Father Christmas on a motorcycle….. and I don’t even believe in Santa Claus
2) In Bangkok, I was “locked up” for 4 hours while 2 Lady Customs officials tried to find out whether I was a drug smuggler…..and I have never seen, let alone used, any controllable substance in my life.
3) In Mocambique, I was fined 10 U$ for having the audacity of presenting a dirty passport at an impromptu road block…..and I had left my passport at the hotel, he was looking at my South African ID book.
4) In Uruguay, Los Silos area, I spent a unforgettable weekend on an Estancia with a Gaucho and his family for a weekend….and they could not speak English, and I could not speak Spanish.
5) In Rio, in transit to Chile, I unknowingly arrived during Carnival time and went AWOL for 72 hours……and I have photos with people on I can’t recognize or remember.
6) In Japan, Iwakuni, as the only non- local, sang Karaoke in front 200 local Japanese in the company of 4 ladies of doubtable repute, (Louis Armstong’s “ What a Wonderfull World “ without knowing the words)….and got a standing ovation which testifies to the Japanese hospitality and not losing face culture.
7) In Buenos Aires, at a Piano Bar, near a Police Station…..let’s forget that one

Graham, thanks so muhc for playing - what a wonderful list! I think I want your life... or maybe just parts of it - find I'm not quite as 'adventurous' these days as I was in my misspent youth. And now of course I'm dying to know about Buenos Aires, you big tease you!
wow..that is some list Graham. Im sure that if I dig deep enough I might remember one or two not so random things, but Im not sure I would like them viewed by an audience..:o)
