That bling hanging from his neck is a big dollar sign. I’m not sure if anyone else’s ever tried harder to be black.

Extreme Milan

I take it that he just wanted to blend in with the gleaming white cathedral that he’s standing right in front of?!

Books I love:

Three Cups of Tea (Greg Mortensen) - Inspiring tale of how one American gained the trust and respect of rural Pakistanis; humbling descriptions of the hard life that the villagers lead; shatters all post-9/11 misconceptions of Muslims and Islam.
Salvation Creek (Susan Duncan) - Honest, unpretentious tale of a life dealt blow after blow of sadness and her journey hence.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves (Lynne Truss) - Brilliantly written dry British wit and humour!
Fast Food Nation (Eric Schlosser) - Has effectively turned me off McD's.
Eat, Pray, Love (Elizabeth Gilbert) - Great memoir. Did a lot of what I've always wanted to do (travel-wise. Not the divorce-heart-break-bits.)
Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps (Allan and Barbara Pease) - Eye-opening. I think if all men and women would read this, the world would be a better place. :)
The World Without Us (Alan Weisman) - Scared the shit outta me. Makes you look at the world now through a whole new perspective.
Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Albom) - Inspirational.
The Undomestic Goddess (Sophie Kinsella) - Good easy highly entertaining read. Identified with a lot of it too.
For One More Day (Mitch Albom) - Very touching. Made me cry.
What Should I Do With My Life (Po Bronson) - Stories of people who tried answering that question. Some succeeded. Some failed.
