Singaporeans were well-trained by the British colonists...as were the Hong Kongers.

Steve... Tanduay is very cheap here in Philippines... You might avail a bit of that with your morning coffee, your mid-day lunch, mid-afternoon tea, evening meal, nightcap... or maybe all of them... Just try to chill and enjoy...

Not into alcohol much , just waiting for my tee bags to arrive then all will be well.

Queueing in Hell

A man dies and goes to Hell. There he finds that there is a different Hell for each country.

He goes to the German Hell and asks,

"What do they do there?"

He’s told, "First they put you in an electric chair♨ for an hour.

Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.

Then the German devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day."

The man doesn't like it, so he moves on and checks out the American Hell, the Russian Hell and Hells of other countries.

He finds that they're all more or less the same as the German Hell.

Then he comes to the Philippines Hell and finds that there is a long queue of people waiting to get in.

Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?"

He told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.

Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.

Then the Filipino devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day."

"But that is exactly the same as all the other Hells; so why are so many people waiting to get in here?" wonders the man.

He is told, "Because the maintenance here is so bad that the electric chair does not work.

Someone has stolen all the nails from the bed

and the Filipino devil is a former government servant,

so he just comes, signs the attendance register and then goes off to Jollibee."

Reverse queuing dilemma : waiting for the exiting men from the men’s room at the mall, like a trail of ants. Just when I think I have a slot another man exits, then another, and then another etc. Just when the line comes to an end, of course a guy pushes past me .   Why didn’t I think of that?

That's all backwards friend.  You gotta push in there and stand behind the guy while he's at the urinal to guarantee your spot.

What types of teas do  like you prefer in your country ?

Just curious.  Back in the 70's and 80's before Americans discovered that tea other than orange-pekoe, green and black teas existed, I used to order out of Murchie's in Vancouver after I discovered a half pound package from there that had found its way to a seldom used cabin in Noatak Village that I spent the night in one winter.  Life was very good when I'd get several half pounds of different teas and their hot cocoa shipped North to me and my family.  It was 'exotic' stuff.  

What's your mug?
