I see a wine with a “Fitou” appellation please forgive me but I think of a clown. I am not sure why? Perhaps it is my Montreal background where I recall a Quebecois clown Bobino that had a popular television show years ago. But Fitou has no similarity to “Bobino”. Should I report this toContinue reading “RKS Wine: A Clownish Wine: No Disrespect Meant!”

RKS Film: “Come Back Anytime”: Get Me to Tokyo Quick!
Welcome to the world of ramen noodle master Masamoto Ueda owner and self-taught ramen master operating out of a tiny restaurant in Tokyo named Bizentei. No big flashy décor but instead a rather homey restaurant that seats 30 at most. And Ueda is referred to by most of his customers as “Master”. He is selfContinue reading “RKS Film: “Come Back Anytime”: Get Me to Tokyo Quick!”
RKS Quote of the Day: “Nine Perfect Strangers”
“That particular group of solidly married friends was meant to envy her, or they’d pretend to envy her anyway, for all those years, but it seemed that being childless and single in your thirties was very different from being childless and single in your fifties. No longer glamorous. Now kind of tragic.” Liane Moriarty “Continue reading “RKS Quote of the Day: “Nine Perfect Strangers””
“Andrij the Orphaned Ukrainian Rescue Dog” : Chapter 25: Time to Say Farewell
We arrived in the land beyond to a great crowd of many we know who went to the land beyond. What a dream to see my master and mistress Boyka and Anatoli and our children Danilo and Daryna all killed in Russian missile attacks. What surprised me was a crowd of Russian soldiers mostly veryContinue reading ““Andrij the Orphaned Ukrainian Rescue Dog” : Chapter 25: Time to Say Farewell”
“Travels to a Different Time” : September 1988: Sosua, Dominican Republic: Suspect Shrimp
It was either too much sun or last night’s shrimp but whatever it was a fever, headaches and the chills. To bed at 19:00 but the pounding rain made sleep difficult. The rooster started crowing at 05:00. Felt a bit better. The Trip to Puerto Plata: Lunch at Uncle Ricks Café A few of usContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : September 1988: Sosua, Dominican Republic: Suspect Shrimp”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 25July1978: Torremolinos, Spain: The Meagreness of Torremolinos: Gypsies vs Hustlers!
I could call Torremolinos a cesspool but being polite I will say it is a meagre place full of pasty and ill behaved Brits boozing it up and partying away drinking British beer of course. Just like home! Why would people cram into chartered jets and save all year to come to Miami Beach here?Continue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 25July1978: Torremolinos, Spain: The Meagreness of Torremolinos: Gypsies vs Hustlers!”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 21stJuly1975: Somewhere in Netherlands: Dopester in a 404 Peugeot: Germany Depressing?
Went down for breakfast with a litre of milk. I hopped on a train that would take me to the highway heading to Hamburg. Thank goodness for the cool day as hot weather can sap your energy. I passed by a hitchhiker to get a spot and in 5 minutes a lift in a 404Continue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 21stJuly1975: Somewhere in Netherlands: Dopester in a 404 Peugeot: Germany Depressing?”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 29June1975: Stockholm, Sweden: Salvation Army All Over the Place!
I must admit civilized and advanced Sweden may offer the best milk I have ever had and guaranteed hot showers but everything feels sterile and lifeless after Greece and Yugoslavia where people may be poor but many are so lively. And anything you want you can buy which is a bit of a shock fromContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 29June1975: Stockholm, Sweden: Salvation Army All Over the Place!”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 24June1975: Ystad, Sweden: Milk and Cookie Bliss!
Up for last day in Poland. Raced to the washroom to beat the rush and take advantage of the hot water. Went into town but the stores would not be open until 09:00 so I sat on some steps and updated my diary. There were soldiers and police all over the place. The soldiers hadContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 24June1975: Ystad, Sweden: Milk and Cookie Bliss!”
