Kiribati

Marakei Island in the Island Country of Kiribati near the Equator in the Pacific is a small atoll with an emerald green lagoon. The airplane dance tells the story of the WW II Invasion of their island. Dancers imitate the frigate bird in their style. Dancers often entrance themselves, and must maintain composure throughout the dance. This specific dance and style is only seen on the small island of Marakei.



I like the presidential residence. No frills and no false grandeur...


I was quite busy with other things today and didn't have time for a proper "trip" to Kiribati. I couldn't find any decent recipes, but will keep looking. Maybe some other time...

Detailed beauty

I love photos that show amazing detail. Our friend MD sent me a very large slideshow and I selected a few photos that caught my eye:






Thank you, MD.

Ear infection

Mrsgunka's first joke of the year:

There's nothing worse than arriving at a doctor's office and the receptionist insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of patients within earshot of hearing your answer (you know the other patients are listening). It is a bit embarrassing at times.

I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.

An elderly man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk.

The receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick", he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.

The receptionist replied; "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something, and discussed the problem further with the doctor in private..."


The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered.

The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes ???"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"

"I can't piss out of it," he replied.

Thank you, Mrsgunka.
