I imagine they are still living godfather style “Hey Salvatore, never take sides against the family” and following courting couples for their windy walks :)))

(Daphne – And it turns out they’re Bangladeshi. They come from a culture where you pester women at your peril.)

Now, I am sure that if you went to Sicily and the Sicilian men ignored you, you would be very upset and offended! :)

(Daphne – The last time men ignored me, Holland, I was probably 11 years old.)

Daphne, have you ever been up in some Sicilian mountain village?

(Daphne – Yes, and it taught me the meaning of ta’ minn wara l-muntanji.)

Quote: “say what you like about Pakistanis, but they see a woman alone and they leave her alone. They don’t harass, they don’t pester, they don’t ask WA YO FRAMMMMM, and when you ask them where the apostrophe is on this damned keyboard, they show you without accidentally brushing against you…”

Ever considered the fact that Pakistanis might find you unattractive? ;)

(Daphne – Actually, the opposite is the case, because I remind them of the nice girls back home. And it turns out they’re Bangladeshi. They come from a culture where you pester women at your peril.)

I forgot to mention that I’m sitting in an internet outfit run by Pakistanis for Pakistanis, because my wireless-only laptop has been rendered redundant in this wifi-free zone and – hey, guess what? – the computers don’t take USB drives. So I can’t even get my work done in the hotel, then bring it here and dispatch it. No, I actually have to do it here, in these uninspiring surroundings.

You can work using google documents. The documents you write remain hosted online, and you can retrieve them when you’re back home.

(Daphne – The point is that I don’t have a line. But never mind. And it turns out that they’re Bangladeshi.)
