I think you would like Vietnam.
There is nothing I've seen there in the natural environment that you would go there to see.
Hanoi is one of the loveliest cities in Asia.
Da Lat is very nice.But the people!
I've been there twice and was so affected by them. Not everyone is nice, of course.
Compared to Japan the people are very outgoing.
Of course they are keen to practice their English and hand out business cards for potential business opportunities.And for me it is magnified by the fact that I grew up during the Vietnam war, and feel a sense of responsibility as a citizen of (what might be called) The Empire.

If you were in a rock band, what position would you want to have? Why?

Bass player and back up singer.
Bass players are always cool. I like playing a supportive role in a group situation.pc

Drummer.
I'm old and my feet hurt. I need to sit down.
Drummers are cool, too. Gets out aggression safely.
Sets the pace...others would have to follow *me* ;-)
Although I DO like PC's idea of bass player/backup singer. Hmmm....

Bill Wyman got all the sex, so you may be right.
But then you could be like Robert Hunter with Grateful Dead and write the best lyrics and not even have to play.....

I sing and play the piano/congas/drums...all equally bad. But I do enjoy singing, and fantasize about gigging around with interesting musicians.
Since we're on the Stones, I'd like to be Mick. Or his old girlfriend, Marianne Faithfull, singing Trouble In Mind.
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.I'm all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin' low
Ain't never had so much
Trouble in my life before.

I don't know that.
I do remember the impact the album Broken English had on us all.

The images are hauntingly vivid, lingering in my mind for a long time.
It scares me how much of myself I see in her. How did I get here anyway?I had to use dbt skills over a day and a half to shake it off. Back to "reality" now.
Marianne is an amazing artist. And she can hold a cigarette like no one else.

Do you own an iPod (any model)? Why or why not?

In reply to Re: Poll of the day: iPod, posted by Dr. Bob on December 3, 2010, at 17:58:27
Nope.
And I don't own a mobile phone/camera either or any other of this stuff.
Though my family has them and menaces me with them on and off.
This (computer here) is as tech as I get.

I confess.
We do have a large plasma screen TV (or whatever else type of thingo it is....IUD? DVD? Nope. The other electro lighting thing).
The shame is exquisite.

Powersellers just finished a nice Michael Kors Collette Nickel Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag. All stuff new with tags. Phillipa I have figured out posting on there but it's still from this computer.

Not at the moment. We've managed to lose or have stolen all the iPods we own to date. I have a selection - a Shuffle's worth - of music on my phone (a Blackberry), though I tend to listen to Pandora.

I have a Classic which has most of my important sessions on it.
And a Nano for listening to music and radio.

I've got a better question.
How many ipods have your daughters managed to lose at the beach?
My answer is I forget.

I suspect (but don't know) that a winning smile from Free may do it better than one from me.
I could say, 'I'm from Australia. We're your loyal allies.'

But, here's where you're wrong. My winning smile has sort of "worked".
I have become a caricature of myself.
And the "shame is exquisite"...
