Sunday brunch chez bravo and then brava in HK 2000
Had to sel this – scared stiff of the damn thing.
I think I’ve told this story before?
And I think I’ve told this one before, too?
In 2002, we decided to do something different as a team-building exercise – see text.
This was the team meeting, after the team building. Why am I barefoot? See text 🙂
At a ‘dai pai dong’ – food hawker stall – in HK 2004. The rule is, if it’s piping hot, it’s probably OK…
This was the company celebration in Turkey last year. I had this taken because my Granddaughter likes pink, and mermaids
Why am I barefoot in Kunming? A little while earlier, I was taking a photo of some of the team in the Lobby of the Hotel. There was an ornamental fountain in the lobby. I stepped back to get a better composition…stepped back again…stepped back again and stepped into the wall of the fountains’s basin. Trying to recover my balance and save myself from falling flat on my face in the pool, I had to step in with one foot, sliped, recovered with the other foot also in the basin…
PS. The big gap between the fifties and the late seventies is because the CD’s with pics of the intervening years are…somewhere.
Good on ya’, Bravo! 😎
Oops, have I told the team-building story before???
