Picture Taking and Privacy Abroad

Image
  Forgive my confusion, but I believe this picture was taken in Ho Chi Minh City in Viet Nam. Our family business takes us all over the world and we had just been released from a government chosen quarantine Hotel. We were so relieved to be out of the depressing situation of being stuck in a small space for 14 days that we were out snapping photos and enjoying life! We happened to catch this driver of a Weathertech Refrigeration & Airconditioning Company truck, who seem mildly upset that we captured him in smart phone picture image. You can seem him pointing or waving in our direction.(Not with his middle finger at least!)  We certainly meant no offense to the locals. Will travel to Japan, Korea, Australia, and the Philippines before traveling back to Canada. Will probably write book on the different COVID restrictions and inconveniences, but still had a good enjoyable time overall.

Obnoxious HS students ruin Vacation plans.

 The Boston Massachusetts United States of America High School Teen Ager you see in the pixelated picture below, was belligerently disruptive during an American Airlines flight. He and 45 other Winthrop graduates defiantly defied COVID protocol  refusing to mask and physically distance stressing out airline attendants and law abiding passengers who were denied their right to travel to vacation hot spot in Bahamas.  The chaperone hired by the parents of the spoiled brats failed to control the unruly, clamorous, standoffish and aggressively disrespectful immature, "don't give a damn about anybody but myself young adults".   The Daily Mail article by Emily Crane called for readers to email newsUS@dailymail.com with the names of any of the loutish punks who caused the cancellation of flight 893 from Charlotte, North Carolina!! Some of the blame falls on the parents of the disruptors who organized the flight against the wishes of Winthrop High School Admins!!!!  Supe...

Retired American producing passive income Vlogging

 Back drop for this article is Dumaguete, Negros where a gentlemen gently peddles his end of life philosophy vlogging with his wife Jen in Philippines.  His YouTube Pen Name is " Every Man Has a Story " where he never discloses his real name probably because it could adversely affect his ad revenue which he appears to heavily rely upon. Everybody makes enemies who can potentially harm your ability to produce income so I do not blame the man who had an out of body experience after a childhood tonsillectomy operation after he lied to the attending nurse in order to ingest more pain killing medicine. He said he rose to the ceiling and could see fine details in the paint and could also turn back and view his body in the hospital bed. He does not appear to respect organized religion or believe in God.    Every Man Has a Story retired away form the major medical centers enjoyed by residents of Cebu and Manilla and is concerned about end of life health care which he will li...

Well maintained and reasonably priced campground in touristy part of New Mexico USA

Image
In this worrisome Corona Virus era, many Americans with means take to the road. The perception is COVID is unlikely to kill you in the ventilated outdoors. So as weary travelers we happened upon this campground with a Tepee, constructed from Pine logs,  in the village of Ruidoso New Mexico USA. It was located not too far from the intersection of Sudderth and Mechem not too distant from a fine dining establishment named Tina's. Don't have their delectable Coconut cream pie if you are diabetic or struggle with controlling your blood sugar.  We can not think of the name of RV/camping area in middle of the city, but did meet a very pleasant gentleman named Ross McClure. Also the lady, Ana, who appears to own and run the weekend getaway was ultra friendly and accommodating. I was disappointed in commentary by Brian Dameron who felt the pet owner accommodations were substandard.  Ana was not gestapo about donning masks even though some of the guests were taking libert...
