A month or so ago I was eating a late breakfast at Allez Boo on Pham Ngu Lao when a long streak of pelican – well you get the idea – wandered over with a stack of books. It was pretty obvious he’d either lost a bet or was researching for an article.
After chatting briefly with him, & apologizing to him for not buying as I’d already bought four the night before, I took a snap on my iPhone as he talked to the next diner (first pic).
Today I flicked through the April edition of The Word, and there he is, along with a little paragraph dedicated to me. 
I was wearing my suit so not sure how I looked like a tourist, but all his other facts are right. Pretty impressive memory given the length of his stint and that I didn’t see him taking any notes. Also didn’t see the accompanying photographer.
All this reminds me – I must do something about getting into photojournalism some day.
