My Top 10 Things
1. Good food and drink. Thai is probably my favourite food but Chinese, a good Brazilian BBQ, Japanese (especially sushi and sashimi with loads of wasabi, soy and pickled ginger) and a simple Schnitzel (or milanesa) with lemon juice, mashed spuds and tinned peas are right up there also. Regards drinks well that's difficult. Here in Brazil we have a cocktail called Caipirinha that's pretty bloody good, a cold Corona with lemon is hard to beat, the first G&T sitting in Business Class is good too, cheap but good Argentinean reds are value for money, Swedish schnapps is a fun drink with friends during a mid-summer party (Akvavit, Aqvavit or Aquavit depending on where you come from, one of the most famous being Linie), etc..................
2. Staying in contact with friends and family. Need I say more?
3. Supermarkets. That's where most good food comes from.
4. Spending time in Brazil. Never a dull moment.
5. Spending time in Australia. Quite predictable but a beautiful country. It's a shame that most Aussies don't realize how good they've got it.
6. Working but not too much. And I am a little bit out of practise at the moment but I do enjoy it when I'm doing it.
7. Sport. I'm a true, all round sportsman; I can watch almost anything. Cricket, Australian rules, football, rugby, rugby league, tennis, sumo, formula 1, golf, snooker and pool just to name a few.
8. Computers and the Internet. Great time wasters.
9. Hot weather when I don't have to work in it.
10. Cold weather when I don't have to work in it.
Normally my wife would be at No.1 but we're in disagreement at the moment.
And by the way, how good is Wikipedia?
