scribbles to africa 15

1930 hours
Philippine time

My seatmate, Frank, a Nigerian, who's in vacation for two months, works in Greece.

Here's a first. He thinks I am Chinese. Maybe it's the coat I am wearing. Filipinos are not known to wear coats.

But of course, when I said, "I am sorry. I am not." Upon hearing my English reply, he said, "Ahhh, from the Philippines..." and he smiled.

I guess we are known around the world as the Asians who can speak English very well.

"... why think like mere men?"
