Truth in advertising
SW had a very nice time in the Philippines thank you very much. He feels now like he inhabits two very different world: Oz-world and Phil-world. In each, he has different lifestyles, different friends, different diets...quite possibly different personalities, but it's hard for him to tell. He likes this two-world dichotomy, and he also likes it when they cross over -- when friends from one visit the other.
Here's a photo of a banner ad (a real one, not a web one, banners used to be 3-dimensional) in Manila. I commend Dan Eric for truth in advertising, and for evidently paying his model handsomely in kind.
I'd also like to know what "reefer" means in the following context:
Presumably something different to the reefers popular in the highbrow movies made by Cheech & Chong. In case you can't read the sign, it says:
All reefers must go! It's reefer madness!

reefer = refrigerated shipping container, no?
Hello pol. I GUESS a reefer COULD be a refrigerated shipping container, though that would be far less fun.
so true....
i told a friend of mine to start reading SW cause he is moving to manila for a couple of months for work soon - unrice related. i thought he might get a kick out of it :) also v jealous of your recent (or not so recent...) japan adventures.
Yes! SW is back!
pol., what will your friend be doing in Manila? And what recent Japan adventures? I haven't been there since 07...
he will be working there for six wks or so - living in the middle of manilla. i think he is going to be bored so.... so i'm going to email you now so we aren't having the conversation a la facebook wall.
