We just received an email from a new friend we met in Turkey. He's an Aussie named Hamish living in England and although we've only known him (and his girlfriend Kirin) about a week, it's apparent that he has a way of getting into strange, bloggable situations. This is a clip (and we QUOTE) of an email he just wrote us....
"Hello Jason & JJ. How are things going in Dubai? I hope you're both having an awesome time...I'm sure you are. It's good to be back on a semi-normal keyboard but I still can't find the apostrophies and some other punctuation rubbish.
The trip from Istanbul went smoothly, except for the part when I sparked a full scale bomb alert at Budapest airport, causing several fire units, army vehicles, police cars, bomb disposal units, and all the rest to surround the plane shortly before takeoff. All passengers were told to calmly get off the plane and make their way to a waiting but after a diligent staff member noticed traces of white powder covering a section of my pack. Further investigations revealed that the source of the powder was some sort of round cylinder attached to a radio receiver/transmission device (one of my walkie talkies). After Kirin and I were led off by some grim looking customs-type people, it finally emerged that the talcum powder I had bought to treat a particularly nasty underwear rash had burst in my bag and happened to be next to a walkie talkie. At least the flight was only delayed for a couple of hours......"
Advice to Hamish (and the rest of us) from my mother- Ziploc baggies.....Ziploc baggies....
Re: Pix of turkey....surely Jason got his fix of "architecture/history" stuff there. Undoubtedly his favorite subject on "Jeopardy" will be "Name that Column".
