IT'S SATURDAY, I MUST BE IN...SWANSEA


We've become so efficient with our consular outreach missions that we're in and out of British cities so quick, I've now run out/can't think of grand themes or hooks for the corresponding blog posts.  For instance, who can forget the great "Very Special Episode/Viva Hotbabes reunion/I love the 90s/Dolphy retrospective/Star Wars trilogy" story arc I wrote for our trip to Newcastle-upon-Tyne? Neither can I.

Anyway, for lack of talent and theme, let's just see if we - as they love saying here in the UK- ticked all the boxes while in Swansea:


Meet the local government heads, leave with bling envy

tick


During the drive back to town, spot the local challenger to the Philippines' "Petal Attraction"  

"Herr Kutts".  tick (barely)


Meet a dozen or so different Fil-com leaders for dinner, happily have a 25-minute picture-picture session involving a dozen or so different cameras

click


Hold the outreach mission in a hospital rec room, convert foosball table into reception desk

tick (and score!)


As we finish and head home, watch the rain finally stop

tick



but new for Swansea: panoramic!



To be fair, there is one thing the consular team does -- and always does -- whenever it's in Swansea that it can't do anywhere else: get lost while searching for the home of Catherine Zeta-Jones 


based on the video's comments section, it's kinda a Swansea thing
