One-Line Bio
My fascination with Asia began in my late '40s during a film festival, so it's never too late to develop new interests!
Biography
I have 30 years in journalism. I hope that's reflected in the factual details of this blog. It's a bit riskier than writing opinionated material. People can't really call you out on your opinion if you don't provide supporting facts so commentators have to resort to "my view is better than yours." There are many interesting and entertaining blogs to read, but if you reflect on the words as they flow by, well, there's lots of opinion, not much content. I hope this one is a little bit better than that. Nevertheless, please report to the author any questionable "facts." Even these are debatable. Then again, I'm not going to write the definitive view of SE Asia. No one is. Maybe university historians can come close, but that's frequently opinion too. So, in summary, all of the above is pure BS.
