    Do you dance?

    Don't know what you like to do except talk politics and religion with Bilbo.

    Do you like to fish? Shoot pool. (Snooker)

    I've been married for too many years, so I can't really go out and dance. But I've never been much of a dancer anyway, I usually just sit and laugh at the dancers. Like I say, I wouldn't mind going to a pub, but I'm scared that a student will see me. I'm sure there are some foreigners in this city, but I just don't know where they go. There are some pool halls, but going there alone would be really weird. Usually I am quite fine living a semi-reclusive life, but I am usually always living with someone. Now I am on my own, I quite like it, but it feels extremely alien. Usually I have someone to listen to me, but it's odd having nobody there to listen.

    The supermarket beckons! This is the life!

    Are you near a beach? A mountain? A lake? A bush walk?

    Where do tourists hang out? Any YHAs or budget accommodations? travelers always want to have a yak.

    How about a drive back to your old town, it cant be that far away? fuk your country would fit clean up our countries ass, we did 210 ks today just for 4 hours work.

    HAve a beer at home and ring a mate in England.

    When I moved to a new place, I used to go to the local pubs. Have a couple of drinks and get a feel for the place, if i like the haunt, then try to get to know a few peeps, starting with bar tenders, then move onto the locals. It does help If ya like playing pool or darts, get the know locals through that and hey presto

    I went to the supermarket and had a right old riot. I couldn't find a cash machine and had to ask this security type fellow where one was. He responded with remarkably good English and I was half tempted to ask him if he fancied a pint, but I thought better of that and went off looking for the foreign beers section where I had heard the variety of beers had been expanding and at a reasonable price. There was quite a lot on offer, I bought a few different sorts and will stay at home sampling them. I also bought a six pack of Sapporo beer in honour of those who have been lost in the earthquake/tsunami. Actually my little drive and walk about has alleviated some of my loneliness. I now have plenty of friends and they are all in liquid form. It's a good thing the wife isn't here as she would kill me for buying all these different beers.

    Yeah, my looking for a friend thing is slightly tongue in cheek. I am hardly mr sociable the best of times and typically only go out about once a month anyway, but it would be nice to know someone who you can go out for the occasional beer with. Actually, I think I will just have some of these beers tonight and watch the cricket world cup on an illegal stream. Cricket and beer, it's all you need really. Who needs friends.

    There is a very nice lake here actually. This is a smallish town completed surrounded by high, rolling mountains and there is a large lake right outside my window. I might check it out properly this weekend. I might even try to walk up one of the mountains. That could be a mistake though. No, I'm feeling much chirpier now.

    Why have you put (Snooker) after pool. Do you think what we call snooker you call pool?

    Nope, what i call pool is either 8 ball or 9 ball. Played on smaller tables with bigger balls.

    Snooker is played on a bigger table with smaller balls.

    As I am currently in Australia, where they make a point of clarifying which type of pool you are speaking about, it has become some what of a habit when talking to people from the Common Wealth to include the word (Snooker).

    Ok?

    This reminds me when I was in University and needed to make some friends so I thought I would go to the Pool room, as I am good at pool and at the previous University I made some good friends. Anyway saw a bunch of lads and start walking towards them but they were staring at me in such an unfriendly way as I was walking towards them that I had to walk past them and pretend that I wanted to read some information on the wall just behind them. Felt such a prat.

    That's a shame Master. Maybe they were afraid you might beat them..

    Always up for a friendly game of 8 ball myself. Win or lose. Don't always have the time for it tho.

    I had therapy after that and got over it until you brought back memories of it again.
