FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2021 13 I must say they did a great job despite having way too much to drink. I thought, it's been an interesting day, now let's get back to the hotel. As we were towed into the harbor, I looked for my hotel but it wasn't there. How could that be? Then I realized we had been towed to a different harbor than the one we had left from this morning. Getting off the boat I did my charades act with the captain, explaining I needed to get back to my hotel. I knew what the answer would be, "no worries, mate" and he called over a crew member. Using hand signs it was clear this crew member would give me a lift to the hotel on his motor bike. It was with great pride that he presented his motor bike to me. It was fine except he had converted the passenger seat into a fish carrying container. On closer examination, I found it was actually a container of fish heads. The captain saw me looking at the fish heads where my butt was supposed to go. He quickly got out his Burmese army knife (like a Swiss army knife but rusty, dull and broken) and removed the fish head box. That left some sharp metal brackets where the seat should have been. He quickly grabbed an old life jacket and placed it on the brackets. One last "no worries, mate" and I was ready to go. Well, what an adventure today has been! Tomorrow, I will start traveling north to the big city of Yangon (previously Rangoon). Colin is passionate not only about traveling. Currently, he chairs the Community Planning Committee. He has a nuclear patent to his name, among other scientific achievements. We are fortunate to have him in our community for his imaginative routines as part of the "Real Men of Four Seasons" and lending his talents to the original members of the Event Systems Committee. Catch him again in future shows, performing skits or as a magician. ~ Elizabeth Westbrook continued from previous page
